Hi,

some patches (like patch 3+4) require special code modifications that cannot 
be handled (reasonable) with the compat headers. One of these patches (3) is 
already in linux-next and thus should also be in batman-adv.git.

I am proposing in this patchset two different solutions. The first one is the 
easiest and most likely the best for the upcoming release. It uses a simple 
shell script to patch the problematic lines in a copy of the source code. The 
second solution uses parts of the first solution but replaces the simple shell 
script with unified and semantic patch files. Patch 5-11 should therefore be 
used as an example how coccinelle/spatch can be used to clean up some of the 
"interesting" hacks in the compat headers.

Changes in v2:

 - remove second replacement.sh line which basically does nothing
   (thanks Linus)
 - added patch 4 to also mark batadv_netlink_ops as const
 - introduce patch 5-11 to show usage of coccinelle
   (I personally recommend patch 9 to get familiar with the idea)

Kind regards,
	Sven
