Merge atomic updates from olsrd code?

Will do so. Just did so.

As to (2), I think the only issue is the handling of SIGHUP.  The

Well, there were two problems? 1) procd needed to be able to send a
different signal than
hup for a reconfigure, and 2) babeld needed to be able to reconfigure
itself.

At least some procd support seemed feasible per previous pull request...

This should not be too difficult to do, since the

If you are planning 1.6.1 in openwrt chaos calmer's release window (rc1
soon),
cool.

I will test deploy what's in 1.6 (head) next weekend.
