[PATCH 0/2] state: add support for pre-mainline state format

Hello,

when the state framework was developed the underlying raw format was
simpler (only one checksum and no length) and no meta data for direct
buckets.

To be able to keep the binary representation with the current state
framework this patch series introduces the old "raw" format as
"rawcompat" and teaches the direct bucket backend to skip writing meta
data in some cases.

Best regards
Uwe

  state: new backend format "rawcompat"
  state: storage: direct: skip writing meta data if this makes data fit
