Not the results I was hoping for, but maybe the LoC and stack
reductions are still worth it.

This reduces lines of code, reduces stack usage due to smaller
anchor (replaced with list_head), but unfortunately also makes the
compiled binary bigger.

On x86-64 (gcc 4.7.2)

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  99076	   1480	    152	 100708	  18964	compile.o
  93110	   1480	    152	  94742	  17216	compile.o-orig

scripts/checkstack.pl in Linux kernel shows reductions in
some functions as well as fewer functions having over
100:
