Even Github refuses to render the diff of patch #3 for me, but I skimmed 
over it using proper tools ;-)

Some things I noticed:

- radv_device_info.h has no copyright header
- radv_timestamp.h shouldn't be in Git
- Makefile.am still refers to GEN7_FILES
- lots of odd-looking alignment and whitespace at end-of-lines; please 
at least fix the whitespace at EOL before pushing, since that tends to 
create annoying churn

I've also sent comments on the other patches. I'd say this is fairly 
close to mergeable as far as I'm concerned. Congratulations on your 
effort! :)

Cheers,
Nicolai
