Trailing spaces at the end of a line or before a tab are against
Documentation/CodingStyle "3.1: Spaces" and should be avoided. It is
also common style to add a single space after commas unless it is
followed either by a newline or a tab.

BATMAN and broadcast packets are tracked with a sequence number window of
currently 64 entries to measure and avoid duplicates. Packets which have a
sequence number smaller than the newest received packet minus 64 are not
within this sequence number window anymore and are called "old packets"
from now on.
When old packets are received, the routing code assumes that the host of the
originator has been restarted. This assumption however might be wrong as
packets can also be delayed by NIC drivers, e.g. because of long queues or
collision detection in dense WiFi? environments. This behaviour can be
reproduced by doing a broadcast ping flood in a dense node environment.
The effect is that the sequence number window is jumping forth and back,
accepting and forwarding any packet (because packets are assumed to be "new")
and causing loops.
To overcome this problem, the sequence number handling has been reorganized.
When an old packet is received, the window is reset back only once. Other old
packets are dropped for (currently) 30 seconds to "protect" the new sequence
number and avoid the hopping as described above.
The reorganization brings some code cleanups (at least i hope you feel the
same) and also fixes a bug in count_real_packets() which falsely updated
the last_real_seqno for slightly older packets within the seqno window
if they are no duplicates.
This second version of the patch also fixes a problem where for seq_diff==64
bit_shift() reads from outside of the seqno window, and removes the loop
for seq_diff == -64 which was present in the first patch.
The third iteration also adds a window for the next expected sequence numbers.
This minimizes sequence number flapping for packets with very big differences
(e.g. 3 packets with seqno 0, 25000 and 50000 might still cause problems
without this window).

Instead of having a single /proc file "interfaces" in which you have
to echo the wanted interface batman-adv will create a subfolder in each
suitable /sys/class/net folder. This subfolder contains files for the
interface specific settings. For example, mesh_iface to add/remove an
interface from a virtual mesh network (at the moment only bat0 is
supported).
Example:
echo bat0 > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman-adv/mesh_iface
to deactivate:
echo none > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman-adv/mesh_iface
Interfaces which are not compatible with batman-adv won't contain the
batman-adv folder, therefore can't be activated. Not supported are:
loopback, non-ethernet, non-ARP and virtual mesh network interfaces

This is the first patch in a series of patches which aim to convert
all batman-adv /proc files to sysfs. To keep the changes in a
digestable size it has been split up into smaller chunks. During
the transition period batman-adv will use /proc as well as sysfs.
As a first step the following files have been converted:
aggregate_ogm, originators, transtable_global, transtable_local

This patch removes the (ugly and racy) packet receiving thread and the
kernel socket usage. Instead, packets are received directly by registering
the ethernet type and handling skbs instead of self-allocated buffers.
Some consequences and comments:
* we don't copy the payload data when forwarding/sending/receiving data
anymore. This should boost performance.
* packets from/to different interfaces can be (theoretically) processed
simultaneously. Only the big originator hash lock might be in the way.
* no more polling or sleeping/wakeup/scheduling issues when receiving
packets
* this might introduce new race conditions.
* aggregation and vis code still use packet buffers and are not (yet)
converted.
* all spinlocks were converted to irqsave/restore versions to solve
some lifelock issues when preempted. This might be overkill, some
of these locks might be reverted later.
* skb copies are only done if neccesary to avoid overhead
performance differences:
* we made some "benchmarks" with intel laptops.
* bandwidth on Gigabit Ethernet increased from ~500 MBit/s to ~920 MBit/s
* ping latency decresed from ~2ms to ~0.2 ms
I did some tests on my 9 node qemu environment and could confirm that
usual sending/receiving, forwarding, vis, batctl ping etc works.

The /proc vis file was used to enable/disable the vis server and to output
the vis data at the same time. This behaviour was confusing and lacked a
proper method to display the current vis server status.
This patch seperates the 2 functionalities:
* use vis_server to enable/disable the vis server and to retrieve its status
* use vis_data to retrieve the vis raw data (if the server is enabled)
