Note that the "correct way" of doing list operations also almost
inevitably is the shortest way by far, since it gets rid of all the
special cases. So the patch looks nice. It gets rid of the magic
"nf_set_hooks_head()" thing too, because once you do list following
right, the head is no different from any other pointer in the list.

Perhaps we should have some "slist" primitives added to
include/linux/list.h but since the comparison differs for each user I
guess it's hard to abstract in a way that's generic and inlines
properly.

I'll start taking a look at your patch and this stuff as well, thanks
Linus.
