If by SD abstraction, you mean vlc_services_discovery.h, it's still
there (at least for now) without changes.

The purpose of these patches is to move SD out of the playlist. They
move the part which stores the media detected by the SD and
browsing/preparsing from the playlist to a separate component.

Currently, everything is child of the playlist object. We would like
independant components to be separated, so we need new VLC objects,
childs of the libvlc object, siblings of the playlist. Don't we?
