Add all the relevant functions in order to manage a Distributed Hash Table over
the B.A.T.M.A.N.-adv network. It will later be used to store several ARP entries
and implement DAT (Distributed ARP Table)

The current unicast packet type does not contain the orig source address. This
patches add a new unicast packet (called UNICAST_4ADDR) which provides two new
fields: the originator source address and the subtype (the type of the data
contained in the packet payload). The former is useful to identify the node
which injected the packet into the network and the latter is useful to avoid
creating new unicast packet types in the future: a macro defining a new subtype
will be enough.

All non-static symbols of batman-adv were prefixed with batadv_ to avoid
collisions with other symbols of the kernel. Other symbols of batman-adv
should use the same prefix to keep the naming scheme consistent.

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.

Documentation/CodingStyle recommends to use the form
p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);
to calculate the size of a struct and not the version where the struct
name is spelled out to prevent bugs when the type of p changes. This
also seems appropriate for manipulation of buffers when they are
directly associated with p.

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.

The routing algorithm must be able to decide if a fragment can be merged with
the missing part and still be passed to a forwarding interface. The fragments
can only differ by one byte in case that the original payload had an uneven
length. In that situation the sender has to inform all possible receivers that
the tail is one byte longer using the flag UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL.
The combination of UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL and UNI_FRAG_HEAD flag makes it possible
to calculate the correct length for even and uneven sized payloads.
The original formula missed to add the unicast header at all and forgot to
remove the fragment header of the second fragment. This made the results highly
unreliable and only useful for machines with large differences between the
configured MTUs.

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.
