Yeah.. I only tested this on 64-bit since there was no vendor extension
support in mac80211_hwsim in the kernel tree. My server setup is running
with 32-bit builds, but it won't catch manual test cases like this now.
I guess we could consider adding a vendor command into mac80211_hwsim to
enable validation of this functionality in general both in
wpa_supplicant and cfg80211.
