Some of the code in the tree uses the data structures in a one-off manner, such that specifying the HEADNAME value for the *_HEAD macro isn't required. What omitting HEADNAME does is creates an anonymous structure for describing the data structure/pointers, whereas specifying HEADNAME creates a named structure for describing the data structure/pointers, i.e.
