Hi David,

here comes the next batch I'd like to get the pulled into net-next-2.6/3.3.
We have a couple of minor fixes for unregister_netdevice(), compat flags,
return value checks and a readme update. Plus the regression fix from Dan
that addresses a bug introduced with the previous batch. Security 
researcher Paul Kot checked our kernelland / user space communication and
found a subtle bug which would make batman-adv write to memory locations
it should not write to. However, he did not find a way to exploit this
bug, therefore we classified it as "non-critical". Please let us know if
that is not ok with you.

Thanks,
Marek
