[1/1] Staging: batman-adv: Use printk(%pM) for MAC addresses

  printk() since kernel version 2.6.29 has supported printing MAC
addresses directly, as an extension to the %p processing. This patch
makes use of this for printk() and bat_dbg(). This will remove the
overhead of using addr_to_string() which is normally never actually
output.

For kernels older than 2.6.29 the printk support from 2.6.31 has been
imported into batman-adv and will be used for formatting the output
before passing it onto the native printk() function.

Fix the typo found by Gus Wirth.
grep pMs suggests the typo only occurred once.

Stripped out all unneeded %pX functionality in bat_printk.c so that
the code is more likely to build with older kernels. 

Only build bat_printk.c with kernels that require it, thanks to Simon
Wunderlich Makefile.kbuild patch.

Hello Andrew,

thank you for the patch, it is committed now in r1526. I've added some
changes to your patch to allow compatibility for all currently suported
kernels again. This includes:

 * removing ipv4/ipv6 printing support in bat_printk
 * pack_hex_byte() (used in bat_printk()) was missing in older kernels
 * various stuff in compat.h to avoid regressions from my skb patch
 * skb->dev->stats was not available in older kernels

best regards,
	Simon
