It will first get committed upstream, and then eventually filter down to
compat-wireless-2.6.  It needs to go into Linville's wireless-testing
tree first, if anything.

2.6.25: definitely not, merge window is waaaay closed
2.6.26: quite possibly, depends on how fast review/testing/Linville are
2.6.27: definitely, assuming nobody finds regressions
