====================
Allow BATMAN to use hdlc-eth interfaces
BATMAN works over Ethernet like interfaces. hdlc-eth provides the need
requirements. However, hdlc devices are often created as raw hdlc
devices, which batman cannot use, and are then be transmuted into
other types using sethdlc(1). Have the HDLC code emit
NETDEV_*_TYPE_CHANGE events when the type changes, and have BATMAN
react on these events.
