Yeoh,

Looks good from here.  Just one question (inline), which is probably
more for Thomas than you...

I never understood the point of these macros so I'm not too happy
about seeing another one creep in :)
Can someone explain why we need them?  Why not just use good
old-fashioned '=='  (and '<' or '>')?

i.e.

if ((mpath->sn < orig_sn || (mpath->sn == orig_sn && metric <
mpath->rann_metric))
    && ifmsh->mshcfg.dot11MeshForwarding) {
