batman-adv can be compiled as part of the kernel instead of an module. In that
case the linker will see all non-static symbols of batman-adv and all other
non-static symbols of the kernel. This could lead to symbol collisions. A
prefix for the batman-adv symbols that defines their private namespace avoids
such a problem.

The primary entry and the corresponding secondary entries are missing when there
are no neighbors on the primary interface. This also causes the TT entries to
miss and makes nodes with multiply secondary interface fall apart since there
is no way to see they are related without a primary entry.

Fix this by always emitting a primary entry.

All batman-adv packets have a common 3 byte header. It can be used to share
some code between different code paths, but it was never explicit stated that
this header has to be always the same for all packets. Therefore, new code
changes always have the problem that they may accidently introduce regressions
by moving some elements around.

A new structure is introduced that contains the common header and makes it
easier visible that these 3 bytes have to be the same for all on-wire packets.

Several functions in the translation table management code assume that the
tt_global_entry and tt_local_entry structures have the same initial fields such
as 'addr' and 'hash_entry'. To improve the code readability and to avoid
mistakes in later changes, a common substructure that substitute the shared
fields has been introduced (struct tt_common_entry).

Thanks to this modification, it has also been possible to slightly reduce the
code length by merging some functions like compare_ltt/gtt() and
tt_local/global_hash_find()

There are two reasons for this fix:
- the result of choose_orig() and vis_choose() is an index and therefore it can't
  be negative. Hence it is correct to make the return type unsigned too.

- sizeof(int) may not be the same on ALL the architectures. Since we plan to use
  choose_orig() as DHT hash function, we need to guarantee that, given the same
  argument, the result is the same. Then it is correct to explicitly express
  the size of the return type (and the second argument). Since the expected
  length is currently 4, uint32_t is the most convenient choice.

The batman-adv vis server has to a stack which stores all information
about packets which should be send later. This stack is protected
with a spinlock that is used to prevent concurrent write access to it.

The send_vis_packets function has to take all elements from the stack
and send them to other hosts over the primary interface. The send will
be initiated without the lock which protects the stack.

The implementation using list_for_each_entry_safe has the problem that
it stores the next element as "safe ptr" to allow the deletion of the
current element in the list. The list may be modified during the
unlock/lock pair in the loop body which may make the safe pointer
not pointing to correct next element.

It is safer to remove and use the first element from the stack until no
elements are available. This does not need reduntant information which
would have to be validated each time the lock was removed.

The check for multicast together with multicast can also be replaced
with a single test for multicast because for every ethernet address x
following is always true:

is_broadcast_ether_addr(x) => is_multicast_ether_addr(x)

or when looking more at the implementation:

(FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF == x) => [(01:00:00:00:00:00 & x) != 00:00:00:00:00:00]

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.

The hash implementation is a complete implementation of a hash using
buckets as hash entries and overflow buckets attached to them.

The kernel already provides datastructures hlist_head and hlist_node
which can be used to implement an hash using lists as hash buckets. So
it is better to implement heavily used functionality on top of those
instead of providing a full hash implementation.

The rewrite changes the behavior of some functions slightly:
 * hash_add add elements to the front instead of the tail
 * hash_iterate doesn't provide pointer to access bucket->data directly,
   but it can be accessed using hlist_entry

As first step, every function which uses this function pointer takes it
as parameter instead of storing it inside the hash abstraction
structure.

This not generate any performance gain right now. The called functions
must also be able to be inlined by the calling functions to enable
