      ====================
      Included changes:
      - use ether_addr_copy instead of memcpy when possible
      - implement new multicast packet optimisation
      - improve several kerneldoc sections
      - minor code cleanups
      
      here you have our patchset for net-next/linux-3.15.  They are 16
      patches but most of them are just small cleanups and kerneldoc
      improvements.
      
      The only big change is the one from patch 8 to 13 by Linus Lüssing
      that introduces a new multicast packets optimisation. This new
      component aims to reduce the air overhead by sending multicast packets
      as bat-unicast when only one destination exists or by dropping them
      directly at the source if the multicast group is totally empty.
      
      In patch 11 Linus introduces an atomic_t variable, that like others
      that we already have is only object of write and read, thus making the
      atomic characteristic totally useless.  Unfortunately this is part of
      our sysfs framework, that helps the developer to introduce new knobs
      by using few macros only. For this reason we decided to keep Linus'
      new knob for now, but I'd like to let you know that we are in the
      process of re-working such framework in order to convert all the
      current (useless) atomic_t to boolean in one go.
