In the list_sort() implementation I posted, there was an O(n) loop that
contained no calls back to cmp().  The V2 implementation I'm testing
right now fixes that -- all inner loops will call back to cmp().  It's
also a bit faster, though ~100 bytes bigger.

If there's any other objection to pushing responsibility for calling
cond_resched() back to the client, via the cmp() routine, please, let's
hear it.
