Well, to be honest I think that implementing such feature in the mac80211 stack
should overcome the problem you mentioned. However, support in the driver is
mandatory I think: the idea is to modify the channel access method..therefore I
don't think this is possible without touching the MAC itself.

Now I guess we can really schedule a meeting (or simply keep it in mind when we
arrive in Aalborg :-))
