The "early client detection mechanism" can be extended to find new clients by
means of unicast_4addr packets.
The unicast_4addr packet contains as well as the broadcast packet (which is
currently used in this mechanism) the address of the originating node and can
therefore be used to install new entries in the Global Translation Table

In case of an ARP message going in or out the soft_iface, it is intercepted and
a special action is performed. In particular the DHT helper functions previously
implemented are used to store all the ARP entries belonging to the network in
order to provide a fast and unicast lookup instead of the classic broadcast
flooding mechanism.
Each node stores the entries it is responsible for (following the DHT rules) in
its soft_iface ARP table. This makes it possible to reuse the kernel data
structures and functions for ARP management.

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.

in case of client roaming a new global entry is added while a corresponding
local one is still present. In this case the node can safely pass the WIFI flag
from the local to the global entry.
This change is required to let the AP-isolation correctly working in case of
roaming: if a generic WIFI client C roams from node A to B, A adds a global
entry for C without adding any WIFI flag. The latter will be set only later,
once A has received C's advertisement from B. In this time period the
AP-Isolation (if enabled) would not correctly work since C is not marked as
WIFI, so allowing it to communicate with other WIFI clients.

Transmissions over batman-adv devices always start another nested transmission
over devices attached to the batman-adv interface. These devices usually use
the ethernet lockdep class for the tx_queue lock which is also set by default
for all batman-adv devices. Lockdep will detect a nested locking attempt of two
locks with the same class and warn about a possible deadlock.
This is the default and expected behavior and should not alarm the locking
correctness prove mechanism. Therefore, the locks for all netdevice specific tx
queues get a special batman-adv lock class to avoid a false positive for each
transmission.

If receiving an OGM from a neighbor other than the currently selected
and if it has the same TQ then we are supposed to switch if this
neighbor provides a more symmetric link than the currently selected one.
However this symmetry check currently is broken if the interface of the
neighbor we received the OGM from and the one of the currently selected
neighbor differ: We are currently trying to determine the symmetry of the
link towards the selected router via the link we received the OGM from
instead of just checking via the link towards the currently selected
router.
This leads to way more route switches than necessary and can lead to
permanent route flapping in many common multi interface setups.
This patch fixes this issue by using the right interface for this
symmetry check.

In order to understand where a broadcast packet is coming from and use
this information to detect not yet announced clients, this patch modifies the

have source field).

With the current TT mechanism a new client joining the network is not
immediately able to communicate with other hosts because its MAC address has not
been announced yet. This situation holds until the first OGM containing its
joining event will be spread over the mesh network.
This behaviour can be acceptable in networks where the originator interval is a
small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs)
the client could suffer from several malfunctions like DHCP client timeouts,
etc.
This patch adds an early detection mechanism that makes nodes in the network
able to recognise "not yet announced clients" by means of the broadcast packets
they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will
then be confirmed upon receiving the OGM claiming it or purged if such OGM
is not received within a fixed amount of time.

If this call fails, some of the orig_nodes spaces may have been
resized for the increased number of interface, and some may not.
If we would just continue with the larger number of interfaces,
this would lead to access to not allocated memory later.
We better check the return code, and don't add the interface if
no memory is available. OTOH, keeping some of the orig_nodes
with too much memory allocated should hurt no one (except for
