The description doesn't matches what the code is doing, as it is moving
a _group_, not an event.

Also I wonder if you can't do this more effiently by finding where it
starts, ends and then doing some more splice like operatins instead of
moving member by member to a temp list. Setting the (next, prev) fields
of the various sublists to the right places.

There is even list_cut_position() already in list.h, used with
list_move() and list_splice() I think you can do it more efficiently,
I think.
