I mean the top-level structure, what we've been calling "op".  Without passing
parameters to an initialize_operation() or similar function, allocating memory
in that function for strings and other fields isn't really doable.

OTOH, if lots (or even some) of the fields within an operation structure are
talloc()ed, then talloc()ing the operation structure itself and hanging the
fields off of its memory context may make sense.  I hadn't thought about the
fields being talloc()ed.
