/**
* DOC: Frame transmission/registration support
*
* Frame transmission and registration support exists to allow userspace
* entities such as wmediumd to receive and process all broadcasted
* frames from a mac80211_hwsim radio device.
*
* This allow user space applications to decide if the frame should be
* dropped or not and implement a wireless medium simulator at user space.
*
* Registration is done by sending a register message to the driver and
* will be automatically unregistered if the user application doesn't
* responds to sent frames.
* Once registered the user application has to take responsibility of
* broadcasting the frames to all listening mac80211_hwsim radio
* interfaces.
*
* For more technical details, see the corresponding command descriptions
* below.
