This and the previous patch changes uapi. That might break userspace
applications that rely on it.
I am not aware of any application because all (alfred, batctl and some gluon
integration) of them currently ship their own copy because distribution didn't
catch up. And this is also the reason why I want to do it now - not later.
That assumes that you know all applications, including those not
publicly available. It may be true in this instance, but it is not
possible to be certain.
I've just talked with Simon. Because you have a problem with these two 
changes, he suggested that I should drop these two patches and merge packet.h 
with the uapi batadv genl header batman_adv.h

Kind regards,
	Sven
