The way how the virtual interface is called inside the batman-adv source
code is not consistent. The genl headers call it meshif and the rest of the
code calls is (mostly) softif.
The genl definitions cannot be touched because they are part of the UAPI.
But the rest of the batman-adv code can be touched to have a consistent
name again.
The bulk of the renaming was done using
sed -i -e 's/soft\(-\|\_\| \|\)i\([nf]\)/mesh\1i\2/g' \
-e 's/SOFT\(-\|\_\| \|\)I\([NF]\)/MESH\1I\2/g'
and then it was adjusted slightly when proofreading the changes.

Due to recent developments around the Freenode.org IRC network, the
opinions about the usage of this service shifted dramatically. The majority
of the still active users of the #batman channel prefers a move to the
hackint.org network.

The sysfs files will be marked as deprecated in the near future. They
are already replaced by the batadv generic netlink family. The
documentation should not advertise its usage anymore and instead
promote the generic netlink family and a userspace tool to access it.
