pull request: batman-adv 2013-05-29b

  Hello David,

this is again our pull request intended for net-next/linux-3.11.

Apparently my mail server decided that 14/21 was spam and refused all the
subsequent emails. It's a first step towards the automatic kernel maintenance
:-)

Again:

The only real behavioural change in this batch is the broadcast overhead
reduction on non-wireless interfaces brought by Matthias Schiffer.

The rest is made up by code cleanups and refactoring.

Two highlights on the refactoring are the introduction of
netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() to avoid to deal with NET_IP_ALIGN manually and the
introduction of the eth_hdr() wherever it was possible in order to improve
readability.


Please pull or let me know of any problem.

Thanks a lot,
	Antonio

David, sorry but it happened again.

I'm in touch with my provider admin in order to solve the issue.
Meanwhile I sent the patches divided in two subsets and I hope it did not create
troubles to patchwork.

Sorry for the noise.
