Hmm, I'd suggest to just try find better names. These all are about
ring management (well, free_res is a bit special, but still ...), so maybe:
qxl_ring_{command,cursor}_check (check whenever stuff is in there)
qxl_ring_{command,cursor}_get (take item out of the ring)
qxl_ring_res_put (stuff item into the ring)
Then you can match them likewise easy with "qxl_ring_*", but you have
descriptive names without the IMHO ugly _freq suffix.
cheers,
Gerd
