mac80211: support functions for mesh
The two important features coded in mesh.c are: Recently Multicast Cache: in on-demand HWMP, multicast traffic is retransmitted by every receiving node. Even though a mesh TTL counter avoids infinite loops, it is also necessary to avoid traffic explosion by keeping a cache of multicast mesh frame that have been received recently. With this feature, maximum number of retransmissions of a multicast frame for the case of N nodes within the range of each other would be N. Without it, the maximum number of retransmissions would be in the order of N^(MESH_TTL - 1). Code to support mesh tables.
