backbone gateways may be part of the same LAN, but participate
in different meshes. With this patch, backbone gateways form groups by
applying the groupid of another backbone gateway if it is higher. After
forming the group, they only accept messages from backbone gateways of
the same group.

When multiple backbone gateways relay the same broadcast from the
backbone into the mesh, other nodes in the mesh may receive this
broadcast multiple times. To avoid this, the crc checksums of
received broadcasts are recorded and new broadcast packets with
the same content may be dropped if received by another gateway.

As the backbone gateways are connected to the same backbone, they
should announce the same clients on the backbone non-exclusively.

as backbone gateways will all independently announce the same clients,
also the tt global table must be able to hold multiple originators per

This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv
avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN).
By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet
segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged
into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop
involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment:
node1 <-- LAN --> node2
| |
wifi <-- mesh --> wifi
Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from
node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN.
With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are
part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone
gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them
exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways
may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively
avoided.

bitarray.c consists mostly of functionality that is already available as part
of the standard kernel API. batman-adv could use architecture optimized code
and reduce the binary size by switching to the standard functions.

Both drivers need to depend upon HAS_IOMEM, otherwise we
get a build failure on platforms like S390.
All the driver specific config options need to depend upon
the drivers themselves.

- pci_resource_start() can be removed from sis900_get_mac_addr() because
the IO range is maped and stored into the device private struct early
in the device probe function.
- the driver contains a few direct accesses to low IO ports that forbid
to re(#)define the usual out{l, w, b} macros.

The bulk of the patch comes from the __iomem changes.
- the phy read and write operations were carrying the chip id deep
down the call chain. Let's waste a pointer and contain the flying
spaghetti monster.
- phy_{read, write}_1bit only need to access the DCR9 register. The loss
of generality here should not hurt.
- removed a leftover printk of the EISA era. This is a pure PCI device.

The eeprom registers always use the same PCI bar whereas the general
registers may either use the same mapping as the eeprom registers or
a different one. It is thus possible to simplify parse_eeprom().
