Subject: [RFC] mac80211-hwsim:  Pass rate-ctrl flags and tx-power to user-space

From: Ben Greear <greearb@...delatech.com>

The flags field allows user-space to properly decode what the
rate->idx really means.  The tx-power field is useful as well,
in case user-space is interested in doing something clever with
path-loss calculations.
