I did grep all of "src" before and added all the patches in
"ports", now. I'm grepping for the RTM_80211INFO constant as
the change only affects when this particular message type is sent.
Any user of the message would have to use this constant somehow, right?
Apart from wpa_supplicant the only users are:
- dhclient which is fine.
- route prints the message contents in monitor mode but does
not use the message otherwise.
