      ====================
      this is another batch intended for net-next/linux-3.13.
      
      This pull request is a bit bigger than usual, but 6 patches are very small
      (three of them are about email updates)..
      
      Patch 1 is fixing a previous merge conflict resolution that went wrong
      (I realised that only now while checking other patches..).
      Patches from 2 to 4 that are updating our emails in all the proper files
      (Documentation/, headers and MAINTAINERS).
      
      Patches 5, 6 and 7 are bringing a big improvement to the TranslationTable
      component: it is now able to group non-mesh clients based on the VLAN they
      belong to. In this way a lot a new enhancements are now possible thanks to the
      fact that each batman-adv behaviour can be applied on a per VLAN basis.
      
      And, of course, in patches from 8 to 12 you have some of the enhancements I was
      talking about:
      - make the batman-Gateway selection VLAN dependent
      - make DAT (Distributed ARP Table) group ARP entries on a VLAN basis (this
        allows DAT to work even when the admin decided to use the same IP subnet on
        different VLANs)
      - make the AP-Isolation behaviour switchable on each VLAN independently
      - export VLAN specific attributes via sysfs. Switches like the AP-Isolation are
        now exported once per VLAN (backward compatibility of the sysfs interface has
        been preserved)
      
      Patches 13 and 14 are small code cleanups.
      Patch 15 is a minor improvement in the TT locking mechanism.
      
      Patches 16 and 17 are other enhancements to the TT component. Those allow a
      node to parse a "non-mesh client announcement message" and accept only those
      TT entries belonging to certain VLANs.
      
      Patch 18 exploits this parse&accept mechanism to make the Bridge Loop Avoidance
      component reject only TT entries connected to the VLAN where it is operating.
      Previous to this change, BLA was rejecting all the entries coming from any other
      Backbone node, regardless of the VLAN (for more details about how the Bridge
      Loop Avoidance works please check [1]).
