The XO wireless hardware is somewhat unusual and the driver doesn't
use those kernel implementations (because the equivalent happens in
the firmware/hardware). So any changes in this area would need
firmware changes if not more.. the functionality/operation is not
influenced by developments in that layer of the kernel.
