I think the problem is in:

rte_devargs_insert(struct rte_devargs *da)
{
    int ret;

    ret = rte_devargs_remove(da);                                                                    
    if (ret < 0)
        return ret;
    TAILQ_INSERT_TAIL(&devargs_list, da, next);
    return 0;
}

We insert a structure which is freed!

See http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=55744d83d525

Gaetan, what can be the fix?
