+ * Simplifications of the original code by

+ *
+ * Based on simple lists (include/linux/list.h).
+ *
+ * This is a priority-sorted list of nodes; each node has a
+ * priority from INT_MIN (highest) to INT_MAX (lowest).
+ *
+ * Addition is O(K), removal is O(1), change of priority of a node is
+ * O(K) and K is the number of RT priority levels used in the system.
+ * (1 <= K <= 99)
+ *
+ * This list is really a list of lists:
+ *
+ *  - The tier 1 list is the prio_list, different priority nodes.
+ *
+ *  - The tier 2 list is the node_list, serialized nodes.
+ *
+ * Simple ASCII art explanation:
+ *
+ * |HEAD          |
+ * |              |
+ * |prio_list.prev|<------------------------------------|
+ * |prio_list.next|<->|pl|<->|pl|<--------------->|pl|<-|
+ * |10            |   |10|   |21|   |21|   |21|   |40|   (prio)
+ * |              |   |  |   |  |   |  |   |  |   |  |
+ * |              |   |  |   |  |   |  |   |  |   |  |
+ * |node_list.next|<->|nl|<->|nl|<->|nl|<->|nl|<->|nl|<-|
+ * |node_list.prev|<------------------------------------|
+ *
+ * The nodes on the prio_list list are sorted by priority to simplify
+ * the insertion of new nodes. There are no nodes with duplicate
+ * priorites on the list.
+ *
+ * The nodes on the node_list is ordered by priority and can contain
+ * entries which have the same priority. Those entries are ordered
+ * FIFO
+ *
+ * Addition means: look for the prio_list node in the prio_list
+ * for the priority of the node and insert it before the node_list
+ * entry of the next prio_list node. If it is the first node of
+ * that priority, add it to the prio_list in the right position and
+ * insert it into the serialized node_list list
+ *
+ * Removal means remove it from the node_list and remove it from
+ * the prio_list if the node_list list_head is non empty. In case
+ * of removal from the prio_list it must be checked whether other
+ * entries of the same priority are on the list or not. If there
+ * is another entry of the same priority then this entry has to
+ * replace the removed entry on the prio_list. If the entry which
+ * is removed is the only entry of this priority then a simple
+ * remove from both list is sufficient.
+ *
+ * INT_MIN is the highest priority, 0 is the medium highest, INT_MAX
+ * is lowest priority.
+ *
+ * No locking is done, up to the caller.
