The call to batadv_nc_skb_forward() fits better in
batadv_send_skb_to_orig(), as this is where the actual next hop is
looked up.
To let the caller of batadv_send_skb_to_orig() know wether the skb is
transmitted, buffered or failed, the return value is changed from
boolean to int.

By adding batadv_send_skb_to_orig() in send.c, we can remove duplicate
code that looks up the next hop and then calls batadv_send_skb_packet().
Furthermore, this prepares the upcoming new implementation of
fragmentation, which requires the next hop to route packets.
Please note that this doesn't entirely remove the next-hop lookup in
routing.c and unicast.c, since it is used by the current fragmentation
code.
Also note that the next-hop info is removed from debug messages in
translation-table.c, since it is looked up elsewhere.

batman-adv doesn't follow the style for multiline comments that David S. Miller
prefers. All comments should be reformatted to follow this consistent style to
make the code slightly more readable.

batman-adv can be compiled as part of the kernel instead of an module. In that
case the linker will see all non-static symbols of batman-adv and all other
non-static symbols of the kernel. This could lead to symbol collisions. A
prefix for the batman-adv symbols that defines their private namespace avoids
such a problem.

In the process the batman iv OGM aggregation code could be merged
into the batman iv code base which makes the separate aggregation
files superfluous.

The follow-up routing code changes are going to introduce additional
routing packet types which make this distinction necessary.

In order to make possible to use the broadcast list for delayed sendings
the "delay" parameter is now provided instead of using 1 as hardcoded
value.

The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network
of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that
client from any given point in the mesh.
The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data
buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is
serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables
(table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this
MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the
OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the
client is connected to and its address in the global translation table.
It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several
issues:
- big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of
connected clients)
- high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and
OGM losses
The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client
changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of
filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes
can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the
overhead within the OGMs.
To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation
table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These
values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to
determine whether or not they need to update their translation table
information.
When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet
to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to
the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with
their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information
than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly
reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.

char was used in different places to store information without really
using the characteristics of that data type or by ignoring the fact that
char has not a well defined signedness.

batman-adv uses pointers which are marked as const and should not
violate that type qualifier by passing it to functions which force a
cast to the non-const version.
