pull request: batman-adv 2013-03-28

  here you have another batch of patches intended for net-next/linux-3.10.

The first one fixes an endianess bug in the new network coding component,
sent within our last pull request. It was discovered thanks to
Fengguang Wu's automated daily checks on our tree (we upgraded our daily
check to look for endianess bugs as well ;-))

Then you have patches from 2/11 to 8/11 implementing the RTNL API for virtual
interfaces manipulation: now users can use the "ip" tool to create/delete
batman-adv interfaces and to enslave real ones below them. However, to avoid
breaking any user tool, we did not disrupt our sysfs API.

Patch 11/11 is addressing a new checkpatch complaining by substituting seq_printf
with seq_puts when possible (however, checkpatch seems to be broken because it
raises false positives in case of multi-line seq_printf).

The rest is ordinary house keeping.


Please pull or let me know if there is any problem!

Thank you,
	Antonio

  pull request (so it is in linux-3.10). The problem has been spotted thanks to
  Fengguang Wu's automated daily checks on our tree.
- Implementation of the RTNL API for virtual interface creation/deletion and slave
  manipulation
- substitution of seq_printf with seq_puts when possible
- minor cleanups

Pulled, thanks.
