This is what the RFC is about (btw. I have a cleaner version of the Makefile 
here in my HDD). It tries to keep the batman-adv stuff in net/batman-adv and 
provides the compat and extra Makefile stuff in the root folder. You should be 
able to do a diff of batman-adv:net/batman-adv + linux:net/batman-adv and see 
no difference.

This means the person moving patches from batman-adv to net-next (or the other 
way around) still has some occasional changes in the compat code outside of 
net/batman-adv/ which he must removed (or added). But I hope it is still 
helpful.

Kind regards,
