cfg80211: add CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS 



This adds CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS which is to
be used for features / code which require a bit of work on
the system integrator's part to ensure that the system will
still pass 802.11 regulatory certification. This option is
also usable for researchers and experimenters looking to add
code in the kernel without impacting compliant code.

We'd use CONFIG_EXPERT alone but it seems that most standard
Linux distributions are enabling CONFIG_EXPERT already. This
allows us to define 802.11 specific kernel features under a
flag that is intended by design to be disabled by standard
Linux distributions, and only enabled by system integrators
or distributions that have done work to ensure regulatory
certification on the system with the enabled features.

	  You should disable this option unless you are both capable

	  and willing to ensure your system will remain regulatory

	  compliant with the features available under this option.

	  Some options may still be under heavy development and

	  for whatever reason regulatory compliance has not or

	  cannot yet be verified. Regulatory verification may at

	  times only be possible until you have the final system

	  in place.



	  This option should only be enabled by system integrators

	  or distributions that have done work necessary to ensure

	  regulatory certification on the system with the enabled

	  features. Alternatively you can enable this option if

	  you are a wireless researcher and are working in a controlled

	  and approved environment by your local regulatory agency.
