As much as I like this file there's one detail that I hate:

	/*
	 * Singly-linked List definitions.
	 */
	#define SLIST_HEAD(name, type)                                  \
	struct name {                                                   \
-		struct type *slh_first; /* first element */             \
+		type *slh_first; /* first element */ 			\
	}

If I have something like this:

	typedef struct geom_req_s geom_req;

	struct geom_req_s {
		...
	};

How can I add a any of the types from <sys/types.h> to this data-type
in a clean fashion ?  All other use the typedef, but for the queues
I have to use the struct name.

Is it too late to fix this oversight in <sys/queue.h> ?
