[PATCH v3 3/5] module: Extend the MODULE_ namespace parsing
From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri May 02 2025 - 10:27:23 EST
Instead of only accepting "module:${name}", extend it with a comma
separated list of module names and add tail glob support.
That is, something like: "module:foo-*,bar" is now possible.
