While I had this patch on my pending branch I noticed that I can't
compile wcn36xx on x86 anymore. This is actually quite inconvenient, for
example then it's easy to miss mac80211 API changes etc. Is there any
way we could continue build testing wcn36xx on x86 (or all) platforms?

Also what about older platforms? Earlier I used wcn36xx on my Nexus 4
with help of backports project. I can't do that anymore, right?
