Agree. Thats is what I wanted to clarify as stated below: 
"...EAL_REGISTER_* (macro name has changed since) is matching 
EAL_REGISTER_TAILQ..".

As for 'more specific' match - I did suggest [2] a longer more specific 
version but Thomas had a different view point [1]. You can have a look 
at [2] and let me know your suggestion or if that is wrong.
