Doh! Thanks, Andrew.
list_head initialization is unneeded, because register_binfmt() will
reinitialize it anyway.
Here is final version which was test-compiled on sparc64 and on mips
(after irixelf.c BROKEN removal):
[PATCH 1/2] Use list_head in binfmt handling
Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's.
This leads to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt().
The downside is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt. This is not a
problem, since the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small --
(ELF + something distro enabled for you).
Test-booted, played with executable .txt files, modprobe/rmmod binfmt_misc.
