ebf38fb7ab batman-adv: remove FSF address from GPL disclaimer
As suggested by checkpatch, remove all the references to the
FSF address since the kernel already has one reference in
its documentation.

In this way it is easier to update it in case of future
changes.

1722447482 batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add compile option
This patch makes it possible to decide whether to include DAT within the
batman-adv binary or not.
It is extremely useful when the user wants to reduce the size of the resulting
module by cutting off any not needed feature.

c384ea3ec9 batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add snooping functions for ARP messages
In case of an ARP message going in or out the soft_iface, it is intercepted and
a special action is performed. In particular the DHT helper functions previously
implemented are used to store all the ARP entries belonging to the network in
order to provide a fast and unicast lookup instead of the classic broadcast
flooding mechanism.
Each node stores the entries it is responsible for (following the DHT rules) in
its soft_iface ARP table. This makes it possible to reuse the kernel data
structures and functions for ARP management.

5c3a0e5535 batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - add ARP parsing functions
ARP messages are now parsed to make it possible to trigger special actions
depending on their types (snooping).

2f1dfbe185 batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - implement local storage
Since batman-adv cannot inter-operate with the host ARP table, this patch
introduces a batman-adv private storage for ARP entries exchanged within DAT.
This storage will represent the node local cache in the DAT protocol.

785ea11441 batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - create DHT helper functions
Add all the relevant functions in order to manage a Distributed Hash Table over
the B.A.T.M.A.N.-adv network. It will later be used to store several ARP entries
and implement DAT (Distributed ARP Table)
