Sorry about that. I was under impression that there are no strict rules
for debugfs files and drivers can add them without too much worries, but
it seems I was wrong.

Adding a generic QoS interface would take some time to implement and I
doubt that we (=ath6kl team) can do that anytime soon as our first
challange has been to get ath6kl working properly with cfg80211. That's
why we ended up having a debugfs interface for qos as our first step.
