Both is true, because the originators file is at the same position 
(eth0/originators instead of bat0/originators).

Yes, check the whole first line:
bat0/originators: [B.A.T.M.A.N. adv master-b82b9b2, MainIF/MAC: 
eth0/fe:f0:00:00:02:01 (bat0 BATMAN_IV)]
eth0/originators: [B.A.T.M.A.N. adv master-b82b9b2, IF/MAC: 
eth0/fe:f0:00:00:02:01 (bat0 BATMAN_IV)]
eth1/originators: [B.A.T.M.A.N. adv master-b82b9b2, IF/MAC: 
eth1/fe:f1:00:00:02:01 (bat0 BATMAN_IV)]

Yes. Like the for the sysfs, a folder is created for every interface even if 
not used - creating/removing on the fly would bring us a lot of locking fun 
which I wanted to avoid (I think we have discussed that when the batman-adv 
patches came in).
