B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is a routing
protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The networks may be wired or
wireless. See http://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space
tools.

55d1666b521cbed95924c8d4775fe272c103f08c incidentally disabled bonding
of packets first entering the mesh along with also disabling interface
alternating regardless of where the packet came from. This re-enables
these options.

This patch removes all remaining global variables and includes the
necessary bits into the bat_priv structure. It is the last
remaining piece to allow multiple concurrent mesh clouds on the
same device.
A few global variables have been rendered obsolete during the process
and have been removed entirely.

my_skb_push provided an easy way to allocate enough headroom in
situation were we don't have enough space left and move the data pointer
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
queued by underlying layers and still doesn't unnecessarily copy the
data in situations when the skb was consumed right away during
dev_queue_xmit.

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.
