What does the leading asterisk indicate by an originator in 'batctl o'?
i.e.: [B.A.T.M.A.N. adv 2017.3, MainIF/MAC: wlan0/00:c0:ca:97:4c:34 (bat0/e2:9d:52:8c:34:83 BATMAN_IV)] Originator last-seen (#/255) Nexthop [outgoingIF] * 00:0f:00:54:9b:d4 0.130s (197) 00:0f:00:54:9b:d4 [ wlan0] * b8:27:eb:a0:2a:53 0.830s (225) b8:27:eb:a0:2a:53 [ wlan0]
