IMHO this is over-engineered. This way, you place net-related knowledge
in ckpt_ctx_free(), instead of isolating that sort of smarts under net/
subdir. I'd rather see the clean-up logic near the "litter" logic, so
to speak.

Or, make it entirely generic, use container_of etc and put in, for
instance, in include/linux/list2.h. Anyway, I don't think it belongs
in checkpoint.h.

Thanks,

Oren.
