bonding / alternating candidates need to be secured by rcu locks
as well. This patch therefore converts the bonding list
from a plain pointer list to a rcu securable lists and references
the bonding candidates.

By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet
segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged
into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop
involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment:

node1  <-- LAN  -->  node2
   |                   |
 wifi  <-- mesh -->  wifi

Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from
node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN.

This patch adds the functionality to detect other batman-adv nodes
connected to the LAN and select a 'gateway' to talk to the
non-batman-adv devices on this LAN. All traffic from and to the mesh
will be handled by this gateway to avoid the loop. OGMs received via
the soft-interface are interpreted as 'port announcements' to locate
potential batman-adv nodes. The patch can also deal with vlans on
top of batX and offers a list of LAN neighbors via debugfs.

This patch removes all remaining global variables and includes the

This patch replaces the static bat0 interface with a dynamic/abstracted
approach. It is now possible to create multiple batX interfaces by
assigning hard interfaces to them. Each batX interface acts as an
independent mesh network. A soft interface is removed once no hard
interface references it any longer.

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 adds interface alternating to the new bonding feature. By
default, we now try to avoid forwarding packets on the receiving
interface, instead choosing alternative interfaces. This feature
works only on nodes which have multiple interfaces connected to the
mesh. This approach should reduce problems of the half-duplex nature
of WiFi Hardware and thus increase performance.

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 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.
