cfg80211: add CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS

Browse Source 
This adds CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS which is to
be used for features / code which require a bit of work on
the system integrator's part to ensure that the system will
still pass 802.11 regulatory certification. This option is
also usable for researchers and experimenters looking to add
code in the kernel without impacting compliant code.

We'd use CONFIG_EXPERT alone but it seems that most standard
Linux distributions are enabling CONFIG_EXPERT already. This
allows us to define 802.11 specific kernel features under a
flag that is intended by design to be disabled by standard
Linux distributions, and only enabled by system integrators
or distributions that have done work to ensure regulatory
certification on the system with the enabled features.

You should disable this option unless you are both capable
and willing to ensure your system will remain regulatory
compliant with the features available under this option.
Some options may still be under heavy development and
for whatever reason regulatory compliance has not or
cannot yet be verified. Regulatory verification may at
times only be possible until you have the final system
in place.
This option should only be enabled by system integrators
or distributions that have done work necessary to ensure
regulatory certification on the system with the enabled
features. Alternatively you can enable this option if
you are a wireless researcher and are working in a controlled
and approved environment by your local regulatory agency.
