Nope, afaik I don't need to initialize list items which I'm not
using as a list's head - list_add() will set the next and prev
pointers anyway.
Hmm, for the names I couldn't come up with something much better
yet - renamed dest_entries_list to dest_entries_buckets though, to
make it clearer that dest_entries are some reserved items which
will be sorted into the right buckets later.

Hmm, there are actually two lines of explanation in
mcast_tracker_packet_prepare():
 480         /* one dest_entries_buckets[x] per multicast group,
 481          * they'll collect dest_entries[y] items */
 482         int num_mcast_entries, used_mcast_entries = 0;
 483         struct list_head *dest_entries_buckets;
 484         struct dest_entries_list *dest_entries, *dest, *tmp;

Or do you mean that the term "dest_entries" is ambiguous; not
being clear if 'dest' is refering to a nexthop or a final
destination?

Cheers, Linus
