For now, can you keep this within the drivers/staging/batman/ directory,
just so everything is nice and self-contained? When it moves to the
main part of the kernel tree, then it can move into the
Documentation/ABI/testing/ directory, ok?

+ the local topologies from all nodes. This file allows

+ the vis_data file.
Isn't the vis_data file in debugfs now? If so, shouldn't this file move
there as well? Or at least don't point to a file that doesn't exist in
sysfs :)
