Removing the code now wouldn't mean that it's gone forever, you can
always look back in the git history to find those parts. It does
however bitrot when there are no users and we try to clean up those
handlers anyway, as it's impossible to tell why some parts of it
need to be implemented in the way they are.

In particular, some calls need to be changed before upstream
integration because the interface is not 64 bit safe.

Yes, that makes sense. We definitely need all the code that is required
to make mesh networking work. Having the code in wlanconfig would be
good in order to understand if there are problems with the implementation
though.
