Maybe that other patch shouldn't do things that way though, and add new API (which the existing one could call with some kind of "all contexts" argument) instead, so it's only necessary to specify the context (mask?) where its actually needed (the few places in usb or e whatever)? 

Surely that would also look less tedious in the mac80211 code, for example.

And if you ever fix the nesting issue you'd have fewer places to modify again.
