It was taken from original code. In the rest part of course there is no 
bif2, but ifp.
I'll plane to make a macro as suggested by Eygene. This code  shouldn't 
be in a
separate function for sure.  So code will look like
#define somemacro
....
somemacro(ifp)
LIST_FOREACH()
    somemacro(bif2->bif_ifp)
