This has also been applied in Ubuntu trusty along with CONFIG_P2P (Wi-Fi 
Direct support):

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/wpa/trusty/revision/9

The fact that CONFIG_AP_MODE is not enabled is confusing for users of 
NetworkManager as creating a "shared" WiFi connection will fail without 
a clear reason besides a "wpa_supplicant[xxxx]: wlan0: AP mode support 
not included in the build" line in syslog.

Cheers,
