Using TDB for storing the Xenstore nodes is adding more complexity
instead of removing it. With keeping the data in memory only, the main
reason for using TDB has disappeared.

This series is replacing TDB with a hashlist referencing directly
individually allocated Xenstore nodes.

This in turn allows to use references of the stored nodes instead of
copying them in case only read access is needed. Some simple tests
using the test-xenstore utility have shown no single test being slower
with this series applied, but some tests experienced up to 10% better
performance.

Changes in V4:
- addressed comments
- patches 1-7 already applied
- dropped patch 15 of v3
- add patches 18+19

Changes in V3:
- addressed comments
- add patches 14+15
- replace patch 18 of v2 with patches 20-25

Changes in V2:
- addressed comments
- split former patch 9 into 2 patches
- added patches 13-18

I have committed up to this patch.

Cheers,
