I have a nit of my own: now that the kerneldoc for the hlist functions
is here (it naturally moved with the rest), it would be nice to have
some sort of mention, even if just a paragraph saying why hlists exist
and when one might want to use them.

That said, I have gone ahead and applied this; we've put Nicolas through
enough rounds, and I'd like to get this in for the 6.17 merge window.
The nits can be addressed at leisure with follow-on patches.

Thanks,

jon
