This patch implements a simple layer2 fragmentation to allow traffic
exchange over network interfaces with a MTU smaller than 1500 bytes. The
fragmentation splits the big packets into two parts and marks the frames
accordingly. The receiving end buffers the packets to reassemble the
orignal packet before passing it to the higher layers. This feature
makes it necessary to modify the batman-adv encapsulation for unicast
packets by adding a sequence number, flags and the originator address.
This modifcation is part of a seperate packet type for fragemented
packets to keep the original overhead as low as possible. This patch
enables the feature by default to ensure the data traffic can travel
through the network. But it also prints a warning to notify the user
about the performance implications.

Note: Fragmentation should be avoided at all costs since it has a
dramatic impact on the performance, especially when it comes wifi
networks. Instead of a single packet, 2 packets have to be sent! Not
only valuable airtime is wasted but also packetloss decreases the
throughput. A link with 50% packetloss and fragmentation enabled is
pretty much unusable.

This patch introduces bonding functionality to batman-advanced, targeted
for the 0.3 release. As we are able to route the payload traffic as we
want, we may use multiple interfaces on multihomed hosts to transfer data
to achieve higher bandwidth. This can be considered as "light Multi Path
Routing" for single hop connections.

To detect which interfaces of a peer node belong to the same host, a
new flag PRIMARIES_FIRST_HOP is introduced. This flag is set on the first hop
of OGMs of the primary (first) interface, which is broadcasted on all
interfaces. When receiving such an OGM, we can learn which interfaces
belong to the same host (by assigning them to the primary originator).

Bonding works by sending packets in a round-robin fashion to the available
interfaces of a neighbor host, if multiple interfaces are available. The
neighbor interfaces should be almost equally good to reach.

To avoid interferences (i.e. sending on the same channel), only neighbor
interfaces with different mac addresses and different outgoing interfaces
are considered as candidates.

Bonding is deactivated by default, and can be activated by

echo 1 > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/bonding

for each individual node.

This patch changes the sequence number range from 8 or 16 bit to 32 bit.
This should avoid problems with the sequence number sliding window algorithm
which we had seen in the past for broadcast floods or malicious packet
injections. We can not assure 100% security with this patch, but it is quite
an improvement over the old 16 bit sequence numbers:

 * expected window size can be increased (4096 -> 65536)
 * 64k packets in the right order would now be needed to cause a loop,
   which seems practically impossible.

Furthermore, a TTL field has been added to the broadcast packet type, just to
make sure.

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

"tcpdump" and "batctl td" will receive packets with a wrong sequence
number on systems with a different endianess than network byte order.
This happens due to the reordering of bytes in the function which
handles aggregated bat packets. The function which receives the bat
packets must ensure that these buffers aren't shared with anything else
before that function tries to write into it. Otherwise it has to copy
the buffers so it is save again to change them.

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.
