Hi!
What are the reasons (except for performance) of Batman being a kernel
module? Is there a way for running it in user-space? We have some
servers where we get donated bandwidth, but as people are running also
other stuff on those servers they do not really like adding kernel
modules and probably even rebooting servers for upgrading to newer
Batman versions.
Would some compatibility layer be possible to have to run Batman in
user-space? Are there any existing known?

Why not using the out-of-the-tree batman-adv package? You can compile the latest
batman-adv module against the running kernel (it must be >=2.6.29). You can find
more details in the README.external file that you will find in the batman-adv
out-of-the-tree package.
Cheers,
