A drive-by comment, not related to the patchset, but rather the
ieee80211 driver itself.

Shift expressions with (1 << NUMBER) can be subtly broken once the
NUMBER is 31 and the value gets silently cast to a 64bit type. It will
become 0xfffffffff80000000.

I've checked the IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_* defintions if this is even remotely
possible and yes, IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_EXT == 31. Fortunatelly it seems to
be used with used with a 32bit types (eg. _bitmap_shifter) so there are
no surprises.

The recommended practice is to always use unsigned types for shifts, so
"1U << ..." at least.
