Reason that I have removed LIST_ENDs separately from symmetric and asymmetric is that asymmetric
API Is experimental so it did not need notice, but if really needed I can combine it into one patch in v2.

I have informed "off the list" maintainers of PMDs that are using LIST_ENDS about this patch, so they should be sending patches soon, but if needed I can do it too in v2.
