Subject: [PATCH v5 0/5] SCTP: Event skb list overhaul.

[ A repost to get the SCTP folks on the CC: list, sorry ]

This patch series eliminates the explicit reference to the skb list
implementation via skb->prev dereferences.

The approach used is to pass a non-empty skb list around instead of an
event skb object which may or may not be on a list.

I'd like to thank Marcelo Leitner, Xin Long, and Neil Horman for
reviewing previous versions of this series.

Testing would be very much appreciated, in addition to the review of
course.

v4 --> v5: Rebase to net-next and remove RFC tag

v3 --> v4: Fix the logic in patch #4 so that we don't miss cases
           where we should add event to the on-stack temp list.
