IEEE P802.11-REVmd/D3.0 adds support for protecting Beacon frames using a new set of keys (BIGTK; key index 6..7) similarly to the way group-addressed Robust Management frames are protected (IGTK; key index 4..5). Extend cfg80211 and nl80211 to allow the new BIGTK to be configured. Add an extended feature flag to indicate driver support for the new key index values to avoid array overflows in driver implementations and also to indicate to user space when this functionality is available.
