This is the one that makes sense to me though; that is, the current
list_is_last() doesn't make sense to me.

I would expect:

static inline int list_is_last(const struct list_head *list,
				const struct list_head *head)
{
	return head->prev == list
}

because @head is the list argument (yes, I know, horrible naming!).
