This is currently used by vis.c in net/batman-adv and could also be used by
ppp-generic.c (with my changes of course). And it is planned to be used by
transtable.c in net/batman-adv. The idea was to propose this to linux-
kernel/netdev before we move it to a place were only batman-adv can use it
(the current situation is that vis.c in batman-adv can only use it).
It is ok that you say that it should be batman-adv specific - we only wanted
to ask first.
Well, this is a purely networking change, the header you're touching is
networking specific, so really in this case linux-kernel didn't need to
get involved :-)
