here we have another (I think the last) fix intended for net/linux-3.9.

This patch fixes a bug in the Translation Table component. In particular, when batman-adv accesses the "inner Ethernet header", it has have to jump over its header which can have two different lengths. The current code assumes that this length is always the same and so leading to a wrong access. This patch fixes it by making the "jump" generic.

The bug is not very critical because it "only" breaks our "smart rerouting feature" and does not lead to a crash since the memory it accesses is always allocated. I would send it to stable, but you can decide whether it is worth or not.

Pulled, thanks.
