This solution can be described as "don't allow 802.11 qdisc
customization for now, introduce that as a new feature later when
qdiscs and netdev are not tied together".

It solves several problems by stripping down just one feature (which
hardly anybody uses now and which is not working properly anyway) which
will be reintroduced later. Quite feasible I would say given the fact
that userspace-visible master network interface is perceived as a merge
blocker by some people.
