These defintions are pretty dangerous if we ever happens to use
them in multi-threaded code like repair.   Currently we're not,
but they should grow a larger warning comment.
Ok, I'll add a warning to that effect.

Why not add the hlist helpers to list.h, like in the kernel tree?
It was just a side effect of the process I followed to add the bits
of missing functionality that were needed. I can add it to list.h if
you want, but I don't think it really matters either way...

Cheers,

Dave.
