Thanks a lot for merging these cleanups!

Yes, the patch wasn't meant to simplify the matching logic, but just to
let us use the function in other places.

I once started converting the function into table-based approach, but the
code started growing, and I abandoned the idea for now. I might resume the
work just for the fun of it, but the code will be larger than this ad-hoc
function, althouh surely it will be more generic and understandable.

But let's solve primary problems with the vmevent first. :-)

Thanks,
Anton.
