Marek Lindner July 24, 2010, 3:16 p.m. UTC
  This patch removes all remaining global variables and includes the
necessary bits into the bat_priv structure. It is the last
remaining piece to allow multiple concurrent mesh clouds on the
same device.
A few global variables have been rendered obsolete during the process
and have been removed entirely.
