I went ahead and did a sweep for queue(3) changes in netinet6.  I went a 
bit further and removed things like the ndpr_next hack, etc.  This only 
includes queue(3) changes though, not your other fixes like moving 
common code out of blocks.  I also fixed a few places to use *_EMPTY() 
instead of checking *_FIRST() against NULL.  There should be no 
functional change.
