Why?

PKCS#11 is an API for accessing cryptographic hardware. From that perspective 
(and from API perspective) there's no difference if a signature is "qualified" 
or "not qualified".

Applications that deal with qualified signatures usually depend on certain 
certificates (and their properties).

I would leave the task for the application to figure out instead of inventing 
nonstandard extensions.
