Some embedded devices have very limited sources of entropy for the
random number generator. It has been observed that the random MAC
address on the interface bat0 is not always random. When testing with
a collection of identical hardware, sometimes the bat0 device the same
MAC address on multiple devices, causing mayhem. This patch allows the
MAC address to be set by the user.

This patch removes the (ugly and racy) packet receiving thread and the
kernel socket usage. Instead, packets are received directly by registering
the ethernet type and handling skbs instead of self-allocated buffers.
Some consequences and comments:
* we don't copy the payload data when forwarding/sending/receiving data
anymore. This should boost performance.
* packets from/to different interfaces can be (theoretically) processed
simultaneously. Only the big originator hash lock might be in the way.
* no more polling or sleeping/wakeup/scheduling issues when receiving
packets
* this might introduce new race conditions.
* aggregation and vis code still use packet buffers and are not (yet)
converted.
* all spinlocks were converted to irqsave/restore versions to solve
some lifelock issues when preempted. This might be overkill, some
of these locks might be reverted later.
* skb copies are only done if neccesary to avoid overhead
performance differences:
* we made some "benchmarks" with intel laptops.
* bandwidth on Gigabit Ethernet increased from ~500 MBit/s to ~920 MBit/s
* ping latency decresed from ~2ms to ~0.2 ms
I did some tests on my 9 node qemu environment and could confirm that
usual sending/receiving, forwarding, vis, batctl ping etc works.

The /proc vis file was used to enable/disable the vis server and to output
the vis data at the same time. This behaviour was confusing and lacked a
proper method to display the current vis server status.
This patch seperates the 2 functionalities:
* use vis_server to enable/disable the vis server and to retrieve its status
* use vis_data to retrieve the vis raw data (if the server is enabled)

The batman-adv kernel module is able to output visualization data using the
dot draw or JSON format. This patch transforms the output into a generic
format (called vis raw). User space tool may convert the raw data to support
a variety of formats without the need of modifying the kernel module.

This patches fixes two rounding issues in vis.c for sending and
purging vis packets. Before, the timers and timeouts always got
rounded down to seconds, though we want a precision in
milliseconds.
This also fixes a kernel panic that occures when lowering the
timer for sending vis packets (vis_interval) to less than 1000ms
in main.c manually.

forw_bcast_list_lock is spin_locked in both process and softirq context.
SoftIRQ calls the spinlock with disabled IRQ and normal process context
with enabled IRQs.
When process context is inside an spin_locked area protected by
forw_bcast_list_lock and gets interrupted by an IRQ, it could happen
that something tries to lock forw_bcast_list_lock again in SoftIRQ
context. It cannot proceed further since the lock is already taken
somewhere else, but no reschedule will happen inside the SoftIRQ
context. This leads to an complete kernel hang without any chance of
resurrection.
All functions called in process context must disable IRQs when they try
to get get that lock to to prevent any reschedule due to IRQs.

instead of dynamically registering hash iterators, calling functions are
changed to register the iterator objects statically. The two advantages are:
* no memory leaks when aborting from hash_iterate()
* no calls to kmalloc/kfree, therefore a little faster/safer
