Something like this?

- list_for_each_entry_del(entry, head, member))
+ while (list_del_first(entry, head, member))

This allows the compact loop condition, and I always hated having to
pass the type to list_*entry()...  Disadvantage being that the
assignment is now implicit (just as with all the list iterators).

Thanks,
