re.

iwn(4) is imported (mostly, sans 11n support) unmodified from OpenBSD,
up till now there isn't a single valid reason to split up any of the
code. Heck, I've done my best to keep the code diff(1)able against the
original code.

If *you* gonna provide additional features to iwn(4) I might
reconsider that decision, but I want to see some code first. Btw, any
ratectl related stuff should go to net80211(4) not to the drivers,
same for P2P, we have not a single line of code to support that
currently.
