This patch introduce support for IPHC stateful address compression. It
will offer the context table via one debugfs entry.
This debugfs has and directory for each cid entry for the context table.
Inside each cid directory there exists the following files:
- "active": If the entry is added or deleted. The context table is
original a list implementation, this flag will indicate if the
context is part of list or not.
- "prefix": The ipv6 prefix.
- "prefix_length": The prefix length for the prefix.
- "compression": The compression flag according RFC6775.
This part should be moved into sysfs after some testing time.
Also the debugfs entry contains a "show" file which is a pretty-printout
for the current context table information.

This patches moves the debugfs interface related register after
netdevice register. The function lowpan_dev_debugfs_init will use
"dev->name" which can be before register_netdevice a format string.
The function register_netdevice will evaluate the format string if
necessary and replace "dev->name" to the real interface name.

This patch will introduce a 6lowpan entry into the debugfs if enabled.
Inside this 6lowpan directory we create a subdirectories of all 6lowpan
interfaces to offer a per interface debugfs support.

This patch introduces register and unregister functionality for lowpan
interfaces. While register a lowpan interface there are several things
which need to be initialize by the 6lowpan subsystem. Upcoming
functionality need to register/unregister per interface components e.g.
debugfs entry.

This patch moves values for all lowpan interface to the shared
implementation of 6lowpan. This patch also quietly fixes the forgotten
IFF_NO_QUEUE flag for the bluetooth 6LoWPAN interface. An identically
commit is 4afbc0d ("net: 6lowpan: convert to using IFF_NO_QUEUE") which
wasn't changed for bluetooth 6lowpan.
All 6lowpan interfaces should be virtual with IFF_NO_QUEUE, using EUI64
address length, the mtu size is 1280 (IPV6_MIN_MTU) and the netdev type
is ARPHRD_6LOWPAN.

This patch moves module_init of 6lowpan module into core functionality
of 6lowpan module. To load the ipv6 module at probing of the 6lowpan
module should be core functionality. Loading next header compression
modules is iphc specific. Nevertheless we only support IPHC for the
generic 6LoWPAN branch right now so we can put it into the core
functionality. If possible new compression formats are introduced nhc
should load only when iphc is build.

This patch introduced the 6lowpan netdev private data struct. We name it
lowpan_priv and it's placed at the beginning of netdev private data. All
lowpan interfaces should allocate this room at first of netdev private
data. 6LoWPAN LL private data can be allocate by additional netdev private
data, e.g. dev->priv_size should be "sizeof(struct lowpan_priv) +
sizeof(LL_LOWPAN_PRIVATE_DATA)".
