The new code for the "critical protocol indication" uses
snd_portid and must be adjusted in the backport patches.
This is required as of next-20130423.

    cfg80211: introduce critical protocol indication from user-space

    Some protocols need a more reliable connection to complete
    successful in reasonable time. This patch adds a user-space
    API to indicate the wireless driver that a critical protocol
    is about to commence and when it is done, using nl80211 primitives
    NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTOCOL_START and NL80211_CRIT_PROTOCOL_STOP.

    There can be only on critical protocol session started per
    registered cfg80211 device.

    The driver can support this by implementing the cfg80211 callbacks
    .crit_proto_start() and .crit_proto_stop(). Examples of protocols
    that can benefit from this are DHCP, EAPOL, APIPA. Exactly how the
    link can/should be made more reliable is up to the driver. Things
    to consider are avoid scanning, no multi-channel operations, and
    alter coexistence schemes.
