This feature patchset includes the following changes:
- Cleanup work by Markus Pargmann and Sven Eckelmann (six patches)
- Initial Netlink support by Matthias Schiffer (two patches)
- Throughput Meter implementation by Antonio Quartulli, a kernel-space
traffic generator to estimate link speeds. This feature is useful on
low-end WiFi APs where running iperf or netperf from userspace
gives wrong results due to heavy userspace/kernelspace overhead.
(two patches)
- API clean-up work by Antonio Quartulli (one patch)

The routing API data structure contains several function
pointers that can easily be grouped together based on the
component they work with.
Split the API in subobjects in order to improve definition readability.
At the same time, remove the "bat_" prefix from the API object and
its fields names. These are batman-adv private structs and there is no
need to always prepend such prefix, which only makes function invocations
much much longer.

The throughput meter module is a simple, kernel-space replacement for
throughtput measurements tool like iperf and netperf. It is intended to
approximate TCP behaviour.
It is invoked through batctl: the protocol is connection oriented, with
cumulative acknowledgment and a dynamic-size sliding window.
The test *can* be interrupted by batctl. A receiver side timeout avoids
unlimited waitings for sender packets: after one second of inactivity, the
receiver abort the ongoing test.

debugfs is currently severely broken virtually everywhere in the kernel
where files are dynamically added and removed (see
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1506.1/02196.html for some
details). In addition to that, debugfs is not namespace-aware.
Instead of adding new debugfs entries, the whole infrastructure should be
moved to netlink. This will fix the long standing problem of large buffers
for debug tables and hard to parse text files.

With this patch we are finally able to support multicast optimizations
in bridged setups, too. So far, if a bridge was added on top of a
soft-interface (e.g. bat0) the batman-adv multicast optimizations
needed to be disabled to avoid packetloss.
Current Linux bridge implementations and API can now provide us
with the so far missing information about interested but "remote"
multicast receivers behind bridge ports.
The Linux bridge performs the detection of remote participants
interested in multicast packets with its own and mature so
called IGMP and MLD snooping code and stores that in its
database. With the new API provided by the bridge batman-adv can
now simply hook into this database.
We then reliably announce the gathered multicast listeners to
other nodes through the batman-adv translation table.
Additionally, the Linux bridge provides us with the information about
whether an IGMP/MLD querier exists. If there is none then we need to
disable multicast optimizations as we cannot learn about multicast
listeners on external, bridged-in host then.

With this patch IGMP or MLD reports are always flooded. This is
necessary for the upcoming bridge integration to function without
multicast packet loss.
With the report handling so far bridges might miss interested multicast
listeners, leading to wrongly excluding ports from multicast packet
forwarding.
Currently we are treating IGMP/MLD reports, the messages bridges use to
learn about interested multicast listeners, just as any other multicast
packet: We try to send them to nodes matching its multicast destination.
Unfortunately, the destination address of reports of the older
IGMPv2/MLDv1 protocol families do not strictly adhere to their own
protocol: More precisely, the interested receiver, an IGMPv2 or MLDv1
querier, itself usually does not listen to the multicast destination
address of any reports.
Therefore with this patch we are simply excluding IGMP/MLD reports from
the multicast forwarding code path and keep flooding them. By that
any bridge receives them and can properly learn about listeners.
To avoid compatibility issues with older nodes not yet implementing this
report handling, we need to force them to flood reports: We do this by
bumping the multicast TVLV version to 2, effectively disabling their
multicast optimization.

Unfragmented frames which traverse a node have their skb->priority set
by looking at the IP ToS byte, or the 802.1p header. However for
fragments this is not possible, only one of the fragments will contain
the headers. Instead, place the priority into the fragment header and
on receiving a fragment, use this information to set the skb->priority
for when the fragment is forwarded.

BATMAN will set the skb->priority based on the IP precedence or 802.1q
tag. However, if it needs to fragment the frame, it currently leaves
the fragment skb with the default priority and actually overwrites the
priority in the unfragmented frame. Fix this.
