I agree calling it "struct list" or "struct dlist" would have been
nicer, but we're stuck with it now.

Patch below. There aren't many uses of list_t at all, but thousands
of "struct list_head" users.

OTOH, I've thought of adding a kerrno_t which is an int, and only
useful for documentation purposes (meaning: I return 0 or -errno).
This conflicts with your _t definition 8(
