Jakub Kicinski 172b3fccf5 This pull request mainly brings support for dynamic associations in the

WPAN world. Thanks to the recent improvements it was possible to
 discover nearby devices, it is now also possible to associate with them
 to form a sub-network using a specific PAN ID. The support includes
 several functions, such as:
 * Requesting an association to a coordinator, waiting for the response
 * Sending a disassociation notification to a coordinator
 * Receiving an association request when we are coordinator, answering
   the request (for now all devices are accepted up to a limit, to be
   refined)
 * Sending a disassociation notification to a child
 * Users may request the list of associated devices (the parent and the
   children).
 
 Here are a few example of userspace calls that can be made:
 iwpan dev <dev> associate pan_id 2 coord $COORD
 iwpan dev <dev> list_associations
 iwpan dev <dev> disassociate ext_addr $COORD
 
 There are as well two patches from Uwe turning remove callbacks into
 void functions.
