[RFC,v4,00/20] batctl: netlink restructuring, part 3

  As mentioned earlier, the netlink config restructuring in batctl will be
splitted in multiple steps. The first step was already merged and the
RFC changes for the netlink interface in batman-adv were just posted.

The batman-adv weren't directly rejected by Jiro and thus I've started
to convert all settings to netlink while still allowing sysfs as fallback.

v4:
* last patch (which adds the netlink implementation of the settings commands)
  was splitted in 16 separate patches
* Cc the (most likely) responsible developers for each setting to more
  directly ask them for feedback
v3:
* fix kernel-doc in batman_adv.h
* add three patches to use the netlink interface with the already existing
  setting commands
v2:
* drop of generic config command
* reimplementation of the event command

Kind regards,
	Sven

Is "batctl if" supposed to use netlink to get the interface status
yet?

Currently, with the items in *_attr[] in sysfs.c in batman-adv
commented out, I get these errors:

---
root@Linus-Debian:~# batctl if
ens3: <error reading status>
ens5: <error reading status>
---

Not yet, but I think we should switch to it in the near future.
