Review request for Asterisk Developers.


Changes
-------

thx russell for your review.
i havent thought about this possible way to override the structure length like you said but its a nice way. i´ve changed this.
removed the destroy function cause its useless after changing the callback to OBJ_UNLINK.

tested these changes against 1.8 branch and also trunk and it works like it should.


Summary
-------

handle_statechange in pbx.c has a very great impact on call handling performance. i have noticed this several times and i have written a solution which makes handle_statechange handling 61 times faster.

i have used the patch (rev. 293802 for 1.4) from russellb and jeffpeeler to also fix a deadlock problem and their part to move hints to an ao2_container.

after thinking about the best solution IMO iterating through the whole hint list/container to maybe find a hint with a matching device is very expensive way. So i have used a own container for devices which just have a link back to their hint. 
This means there is a hashed cmp for devices which gives back a multiple object ao2_iterator for all hints, this device, which have a state change, is used in. 

these devices are not longer limited to any length so its possible to use a hint for 100 peers at once.

Tilghman Lesher noticed on the dev-list what would happen when a dynamic hint is used. I have tried this with one dynamic hint and subscribe up to 2500 different users on this, several times and it works just fine. If a subscribe for a dynamic hint comes in, a static extension with static appdata is generated which acts like a normal hint so there is no problem on this. 


Diffs (updated)

Testing
-------

dialplan reload drops all devices out of the device container and recreate them by their callback list.
core show hint / hints show all hints also dynamic and their watchers


loadtests shows the following result:

orig version: 
handle_statechange COUNTER: 10009 overalltime: 7041 ms 
MAX: 365 CPS

patched version:
handle_statechange COUNTER: 10009 overalltime: 115 ms
MAX: 580 CPS

same setup, same config tested with sipp.


Thanks,

schmidts
