+ * registered tailq can not be used before call to rte_eal_init() which calls
+ * rte_eal_tailqs_init().
+ *
+ * @param t
+ * The tailq element which contains the name of the tailq you want to
+ * create (/retrieve when in secondary process).
+ * @return
+ * 0 on success or -1 in case of an error.
