As discussed privately already: This patchset adds a persistent tdb
for fss_state using tdb_pack/unpack.  tdb_pack/unpack is really a bad
interface that I'd like to get rid of eventually. In new code we do
marshalling of structures with idl/ndr usually. Can you change the code
to idl before it goes in? This way necessary upgrade code can be avoided?

Also, looking a bit closer at fss_state_store: There's a dbwrap_wipe
without a transaction. Isn't that racy? Do we have an overview somewhere
about the data model stored in fss_state?

Thanks,

Volker
