You're not insane for thinking that.

But, it's really OK to introduce an abstraction that *looks* silly on
its face at first.  You can easily just make up for it by saying:

	struct silly_abstraction {
		struct list_head list;
	}

	Oh, boy does my structure look silly.  It's a structure with a
	single list_head.  Why oh why would I do something silly like
	that?  Well, for now, the code has but one list.  Soon, I'll
	add a whole smorgasbord of lists.  Bear with me for now.
