I just noticed that the plist kerneldoc is really pathetic. Not your
fault, but lets not continue the trend. The above descriptions of the
@node and @head are really lame. It adds nothing to the prototype. It's
equivalent to:
/* increment i */
i++;
Something like this is better:
* @node: The plist_node to be added to @head
* @head: The plist_head that @node is being added to
The oneline description you have above is good. Ideally, we should have
a bit more detailed description here too. But for now we can leave it.
The rest of the @node and @head's should be fixed too.

As I said above. This horrible kerneldoc was there before and is not
your fault. But if you are going to touch it, lets fix it up first.
* @is_head: True if adding to head of prio list, false otherwise

The above is very lacking if I want to use this, or know how to use it.
It does not tell me what @is_head must be to add before or behind them.
* For nodes of the same prio, @node will be added at the head of
* previously added nodes if @is_head is true, or it will be added
* at the tail of previously added nodes if @is_head is false.
That will be much more descriptive for people looking at this code for
the first time.
The rest of the code looks fine.
