  There is some redundancy between the different lists even within
the sdp code base. There are three objects, iocb, buff, and advt
which each has it's own list. Plus a generic descriptor list which
can take a mix of the different objects, the first five fields of
each object are identical. All the lists are double linked lists,
which are accessed both at the head and tail.

  I can add it to the TODO to replace some/all of these with the
standard linked list, or at least consolidate some more.
