Isn't this just an over-complicated way of writing "new_first = entry->next"?

I think it would be helpful if the comment explained what the function
actually does, i.e. that it moves the inital part of 'head' (up to and
including 'entry' from 'head' to 'list'.

No other list function in "list.h" has BUG_ONs. Why this one?

> + INIT_LIST_HEAD(list);
If there was data in 'list' before the call, it will be lost now. Is
this intended behaviour?

I hope this helps,
