s/opterational/operational/ in struct cfm.

You may hate me for this, but here goes anyway... "opdown" is a bad
name because it's negative, and "opstate" is a good name in the
database because the values "up" and "down" are very clear, but
"opstate" is a bad name when it's a bool because the casual reader
doesn't really know what "true" and "false" mean, he has to guess.

So for a bool, "opup" or "op_up" would be a better name: it's positive
and the meaning of its value is clear.

Of course, for struct ccm, you have to stick with opdown because 0 is
the protocol-defined normal value there.

Sorry about all the nitpicking.
