Function pointers cannot be inlined by a compiler and thus always has

As first step, every function which uses this function pointer takes it

This not generate any performance gain right now. The called functions
must also be able to be inlined by the calling functions to enable

Staging: batman-adv: Make hop_penalty configurable via sysfs
When having a mixed topology of both very mobile and rather static
nodes, you are usually best advised to set the originator interval on
all nodes to a level best suited for the most mobile node.
However, if most of the nodes are rather static, this can create a lot
of undesired overhead as a trade-off then. If setting the interval too
low on the static nodes, a mobile node might be chosen as a router for
too long, not switching away from it fast enough because of its
mobility and the low frequency of ogms of static nodes.
Exposing the hop_penalty is especially useful for the stated scenario: A
static node can keep the default originator interval, a mobile node can
select a quicker one resulting in faster route updates towards this
mobile node. Additionally, such a mobile node could select a higher hop
penalty (or even set it to 255 to disable acting as a router for other
nodes) to make it less desirable, letting other nodes avoid selecting
this mobile node as a router.

Staging: batman-adv: softif bridge loop avoidance
By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet
segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged
into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop
involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment:
Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from
node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN.
This patch adds the functionality to detect other batman-adv nodes
connected to the LAN and select a 'gateway' to talk to the
non-batman-adv devices on this LAN. All traffic from and to the mesh
will be handled by this gateway to avoid the loop. OGMs received via
the soft-interface are interpreted as 'port announcements' to locate
potential batman-adv nodes. The patch can also deal with vlans on
top of batX and offers a list of LAN neighbors via debugfs.
