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.
