I intentionally wanted to keep the implementation outside of mac80211, because there are other scenarios where this could be useful. I might have a dumb AP with no IGMP snooping capabilities connected to an Ethernet interface, and with this implementation I can simply enable multicast->unicast translation on the Ethernet device.
