is_head is boolean, shouldn't that be "true" instead of "1".

And "false" here.

The above could use some comments. I would say the entire plist code
could use more comments, but that's out of scope with this series. But
at least lets add comments when adding new code. Something like:

} else if (is_head) {
/*
* prev has the same priority as the node that is
* being added. It is also the first node for this
* priority, but the new node needs to be added ahead of
* it. To accomplish this, insert node right after prev
* in the prio_list and then remove prev from that list.
* Then set node_next to prev->node_list so that the
* new node gets added before prev and not iter.
*/

Something like that, because it took me some time to figure out how
plist works. It's one of those algorithms that seem to page fault out
quickly, and takes some time to page fault back into one's mind.
