====================
Included changes:
- use ether_addr_copy instead of memcpy when possible
- implement new multicast packet optimisation
- improve several kerneldoc sections
- minor code cleanups

here you have our patchset for net-next/linux-3.15.  They are 16
patches but most of them are just small cleanups and kerneldoc
improvements.

The only big change is the one from patch 8 to 13 by Linus Lüssing
that introduces a new multicast packets optimisation. This new
component aims to reduce the air overhead by sending multicast packets
as bat-unicast when only one destination exists or by dropping them
directly at the source if the multicast group is totally empty.

In patch 11 Linus introduces an atomic_t variable, that like others
that we already have is only object of write and read, thus making the
atomic characteristic totally useless.  Unfortunately this is part of
our sysfs framework, that helps the developer to introduce new knobs
by using few macros only. For this reason we decided to keep Linus'
new knob for now, but I'd like to let you know that we are in the
process of re-working such framework in order to convert all the
current (useless) atomic_t to boolean in one go.
