This is some more work towards eliminating exlicit references to the
SKB list implementation, with the eventual goal that converting the
tree over to use "struct list_head" for skb's can be a single commit
to just one file, linux/skbuff.h
In order for that to happen, sufficient abstract interfaces need to
exist in linux/skbuff.h (that's already mostly the case) and code
needs to use those interfaces instead of directly hitting skb->next,
skb->prev, comparing such pointers to the list head with a cast, etc.
There's still a bit more to do, but we're closer than ever to being
able to put the last nail in the coffin on this one.
I'll be pushing these out to net-next-2.6 after some sanity build
checks.
