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.
