I think it's better to document with actual types, that is, the first
part of this doc string would be something like:

   /* This maps 'char *' userdata_key strings to 'xlate_handle_node_t **'
    * handles to the first entry in the linked list of xlate handles.
    * ...
    */

The exact wording isn't important, just as long as we get the C types
there.

I like the rest of the change, by the way -- the code feels easier to
read this way. One totally nitpicking comment, not about this commit:
in get_xlate_handle_node() we have

   (**ret).next = NULL;

This is the only place where the ".next" syntax is used. Is there
some reason not to do

   (*ret)->next = NULL;

?

The only reason I ask is that someone might do a search for "->next".
(Note that a similar question applies to the line above it.)
