[ltt-dev] [UST PATCH] Re-write ustcomm parts of UST v2

Well it seems good! :)

Couple of malloc left but we can change them later on.

Also, for the valgrind issues, maybe we can add a comment there ? 
because from now on, with this patch, the valgrind test will explode 
every time.

Pretty good stuff! Cheers
David
