here comes the next batch I'd like to get the pulled into net-next-2.6/3.3. We have a couple of minor fixes for unregister_netdevice(), compat flags, return value checks and a readme update. Plus the regression fix from Dan that addresses a bug introduced with the previous batch. Security researcher Paul Kot checked our kernelland / user space communication and found a subtle bug which would make batman-adv write to memory locations it should not write to. However, he did not find a way to exploit this bug, therefore we classified it as "non-critical". Please let us know if that is not ok with you.

All pulled into net-next, thanks.
