To keep transtable consistency among all the nodes, an originator must
not send not yet announced clients within a full table TT_RESPONSE.
Instead, deleted client have to be kept in the table in order to be sent
within an immediate TT_RESPONSE. In this way all the nodes in the
network will always provide the same response for the same request.

All the modification are committed at the next ttvn increment event.

The primary interface OGM has to be broadcasted on all hard-interfaces
even if the primary interface is not the first interface (if_num = 0).
Therefore the code has to compare the originating interface with the
primary interface instead of checking the if_num.

With the current client announcement implementation, in case of roaming,
an update is triggered on the new AP serving the client. At that point
the new information is spread around by means of the OGM broadcasting
mechanism. Until this operations is not executed, no node is able to
correctly route traffic towards the client. This obviously causes packet
drops and introduces a delay in the time needed by the client to recover
its connections.

A new packet type called ROAMING_ADVERTISEMENT is added to account this
issue.

This message is sent in case of roaming from the new AP serving the
client to the old one and will contain the client MAC address. In this
way an out-of-OGM update is immediately committed, so that the old node
can update its global translation table. Traffic reaching this node will
then be redirected to the correct destination utilising the fresher
information. Thus reducing the packet drops and the connection recovery
delay.

The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network
of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that
client from any given point in the mesh.

The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data
buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is
serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables
(table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this
MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the
OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the
client is connected to and its address in the global translation table.

It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several
issues:
 - big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of
   connected clients)
 - high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and
   OGM losses

The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client
changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of
filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes
can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the
overhead within the OGMs.

To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation
table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These
values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to
determine whether or not they need to update their translation table
information.

When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet
to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to
the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with
their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information
than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly
reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.

spin_lock_irqsave disables the IRQs and stores them inside the flags
provided by the caller. This is needed to protect a bottom half handler
or a user context critical section from being interrupted by an
interrupt handler which also tries to acquire the spinlock and locks
forever.

The linux device drivers will receive the packets inside an interrupt
handler and the network infrastructure will process them inside bottom
half. Thus batman-adv will only run in user context and bottom half
handlers. We can conclude that batman-adv doesn't share its own
spinlocks with real interrupt handlers.

This makes it possible to exchange the quite complex spin_lock_irqsave
with spin_lock_bh which only stops bottom halves from running on the
current cpu, but allows interrupt handlers to take over to keep the
interrupt latency low.

When having a mixed topology of both very mobile and rather static
nodes, you are usually best advised to set the originator interval on
all nodes to a level best suited for the most mobile node.

However, if most of the nodes are rather static, this can create a lot
of undesired overhead as a trade-off then. If setting the interval too
low on the static nodes, a mobile node might be chosen as a router for
too long, not switching away from it fast enough because of its
mobility and the low frequency of ogms of static nodes.

Exposing the hop_penalty is especially useful for the stated scenario: A
static node can keep the default originator interval, a mobile node can
select a quicker one resulting in faster route updates towards this
mobile node. Additionally, such a mobile node could select a higher hop
penalty (or even set it to 255 to disable acting as a router for other
nodes) to make it less desirable, letting other nodes avoid selecting
this mobile node as a router.

my_skb_push provided an easy way to allocate enough headroom in

to the new position, but we didn't checked wether we are allowed to
write to the new pushed header. This is for example a problem when the
skb was cloned and thus doesn't have a private data part.

my_skb_head_push now replaces my_skb_push by using skb_cow_head to
provide only a large enough, writable header without testing for the
rest of the (maybe shared) data. It will also move the data pointer
using skb_push when skb_cow_head doesn't fail.

This should give us enough flexibility in situation were skbs will be
