Yeah, not with the limitation that it only works on global list heads.
We already have a lot of different list traversal things (rcu, safe,
hlist, continue-in-the-middle etc etc), and we clearly are going to
add a new set - but I don't want to add one that is so limited that it
only works for the simplest kind of list.
