secvar: overhaul secvar struct by removing static sized fields
Originally, the secvar struct was intended to contain all the variable information seperate from the linked list/etc metadata, so that copying and serialization/deserialization could be handled by a single memcpy(). This is fragile, potentially compiler dependent, and doesn't account for endianness. Therefore, this patch removes the static allocation for key, now allocates a buffer for data, and completely removes the now unnecessary secvar_node struct. As a side effect, some of the secvar_util functionality has been tweaked where it makes sense. Most notably alloc_secvar now takes in an extra argument as it now has to allocate the key Signed-off-by: Eric Richter <erichte@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Oliver O'Halloran <oohall@gmail.com>
