Please update hostapd/hostapd.conf with documentation for the added
configuration parameter.

Taken into account how special use case this is, I think it would be
justifiable to disable this from builds by default and require
CONFIG_<something>=y to be used in hostapd/.config to enable this. This
would also make it more justifiable to bring some of the patch 1/4
changes (but probably not all) back under #ifdef without extra cost for
the more common hostapd use case.
