This is replaced by a userspace program, we don't need this
functionality to bloat the kernel.

To use network coding efficiently, a relay must know when neighbor nodes
are likely to have enough information to be able to decode a network
coded packet. This is detected by using OGMs from batman-adv to discover
when one neighbor is in range of another neighbor. The relay check the
TLL to detect when an OGM is forwarded from one neighbor by another
neighbor, and thereby knows that the two neighbors are in range and thus
overhear packets sent by each other.
This information is saved in the orig_node struct to be used when
searching for coding opportunities. Two lists are added to the
orig_node struct: One for neighbors that can hear the orig_node
(outgoing nc_nodes) and one for neighbors that the orig_node can hear
(incoming nc_nodes).
Information about nc_nodes is kept for 10 seconds and is available
through debugfs in batman_adv/nc_nodes to use when debugging network
coding.

debugfs_remove_recursive() checks whether its argument is not null
on its own, therefore it is possible to remove the external check.

This patch adds support for an array of debugfs general (not soft_iface
specific) attributes. With this change it will be possible to add more general
attributes by simply appending them to the array without touching the rest of
the code.

This patch makes it possible to decide whether to include DAT within the
batman-adv binary or not.
It is extremely useful when the user wants to reduce the size of the resulting
module by cutting off any not needed feature.

Since batman-adv cannot inter-operate with the host ARP table, this patch
introduces a batman-adv private storage for ARP entries exchanged within DAT.
This storage will represent the node local cache in the DAT protocol.

This is especially useful if there are no claims yet, but we still want
to know which gateways are using bridge loop avoidance in the network.

The "bat_" prefix in the source files implementing the batman-adv sysfs and
debugfs interface doesn't have a special meaning and are only used by these
files and files that implement the actual B.A.T.M.A.N. path finding algorithm.
The prefix is better suited to mark files that are used to implement the main
part of the path finding. All other files should not use it and therefore gets
renamed.
