Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [RFC 00/11] bridge loop avoidance II

This series of patches is a request for comments on the redesigned bridge loop avoidance. The general concept is described in the wiki [1]. I've already performed a few testcases [2] which worked fine in my kvm environment. No crashes while running or unloading the extension either. The last patch in the series uses the cached address of the primary interface (the originator address known through the mesh) to save some code at various positions, there may be side effects I don't see however (e.g. implicit checking whether the module was configured correctly was removed). Marek already pointed quite a few issues out, these changes are reflected in the respective commit logs. These commit comments will be removed in the final version. Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
