Beacon config function writes beacon to hw one write per byte. This is very slow (usually taking more than 100ms to finish) and causes high CPU usage when in AP-mode (kworker at ~50% on Intel Atom N270). By batching commands together zd_mac_config_beacon() runtime can be lowered to 1/5th and lower CPU usage to saner levels (<10% on Atom).
