Define a new IFF_6LO flag for the tun/tap driver that enables 6LoWPAN
compression/decompression for tap devices. This is achieved by calling
lowpan_header_compress once the sk_buff is destined for user space and
calling lowpan_header_decompress when the user space writes packets to
kernel. A copy of the ethernet MAC headers are needed both ways, as
the 6LoWPAN compression may end up expanding the header size by one
byte in the worst case.
LOWPAN_IPHC_MAX_HC_BUF_LEN more bytes are added to sk_buff headroom
to ensure there will be enough bytes to push headers to. This is
probably an overkill and probably done wrongly anyway.
An ethernet MAC header is added in front of the (compressed) IPv6
datagram in both directions; no such transport exists for 6LoWPAN,
but this is just an example implementation trying to explain the
idea behind the BTLE handling in user space and the 6LoWPAN
compression and decompression in kernel space. Thus the tun/tap
driver comes in handy as the victim of the demonstration.
