If the same interface is used for sending and receiving, there might be
throughput degradation on half-duplex interfaces such as WiFi. Add a
penalty if the same interface is used to reflect this problem in the
metric. At the same time, change the hop penalty from 30 to 15 so there
will be no change for single wifi mesh network. the effective hop
penalty will stay at 30 due to the new wifi penalty for these networks.

A client sending packets which mark matches the value
configured via sysfs has to be identified as isolated using
the TT_CLIENT_ISOLA flag.

The match is mask based, meaning that only bits set in the
mask are compared with those in the mark value.

If the configured mask is equal to 0 no operation is
performed.

Such flag is then advertised within the classic client

This attribute can be used to set and read the value and the
mask of the skb mark which will be used to classify the
source non-mesh client as ISOLATED. In this way a client can
be advertised as such and the mark can potentially be
restored at the receiving node before delivering the skb.

This can be helpful for creating network wide netfilter
policies.

This sysfs file expects a string of the shape "$mark/$mask".
Where $mark has to be a 32-bit number in any base, while
$mask must be a 32bit mask expressed in hex base. Only bits
in $mark covered by the bitmask are really stored.

In different situations it is possible that the DHCP server
or client uses broadcast Ethernet frames to send messages
to each other. The GW component in batman-adv takes care of
using bat-unicast packets to bring broadcast DHCP
Discover/Requests to the "best" server.

On the way back the DHCP server usually sends unicasts,
but upon client request it may decide to use broadcasts as
well.

This patch improves the GW component so that it now snoops
and sends as unicast all the DHCP packets, no matter if they
were generated by a DHCP server or client.

If an interface enslaved into batman-adv is a bridge (or a
virtual interface built on top of a bridge) the nf_bridge
member of the skbs reaching the soft-interface is filled
with the state about "netfilter bridge" operations.

Then, if one of such skbs is locally delivered, the nf_bridge
member should be cleaned up to avoid that the old state
could mess up with other "netfilter bridge" operations when
entering a second bridge.
This is needed because batman-adv is an encapsulation
protocol.

However at the moment skb->nf_bridge is not released at all
leading to bogus "netfilter bridge" behaviours.

Fix this by cleaning the netfilter state of the skb before
it gets delivered to the upper layer in interface_rx().

Network coding exploits the 802.11 shared medium to allow multiple
packets to be sent in a single transmission. In brief, a relay can XOR
two packets, and send the coded packet to two destinations. The
receivers can decode one of the original packets by XOR'ing the coded
packet with the other original packet. This will lead to increased
throughput in topologies where two packets cross one relay.

In a simple topology with three nodes, it takes four transmissions
without network coding to get one packet from Node A to Node B and one
from Node B to Node A:

 1.  Node A  ---- p1 --->  Node R                Node B
 2.  Node A                Node R  <--- p2 ----  Node B
 3.  Node A  <--- p2 ----  Node R                Node B
 4.  Node A                Node R  ---- p1 --->  Node B

With network coding, the relay only needs one transmission, which saves
us one slot of valuable airtime:

 1.  Node A  ---- p1 --->  Node R                Node B
 2.  Node A                Node R  <--- p2 ----  Node B
 3.  Node A  <- p1 x p2 -  Node R  - p1 x p2 ->  Node B

The same principle holds for a topology including five nodes. Here the
packets from Node A and Node B are overheard by Node C and Node D,
respectively. This allows Node R to send a network coded packet to save
one transmission:

   Node A                  Node B

    |     \              /    |
    |      p1          p2     |
    |       \          /      |
    p1       > Node R <       p2
    |                         |
    |         /      \        |
    |    p1 x p2    p1 x p2   |
    v       /          \      v
           /            \
   Node C <              > Node D

More information is available on the open-mesh.org wiki[1].

This patch adds the initial code to support network coding in
batman-adv. It sets up a worker thread to do house keeping and adds a
sysfs file to enable/disable network coding. The feature is disabled by
default, as it requires a wifi-driver with working promiscuous mode, and
also because it adds a small delay at each hop.
