An option to keep backward compatibility and consistency would be
to wrap the pattern/string passed in *'s, that way we can just use
fnmatch and have all the examples Jiri brought up work the same.
With that in place we can actually also drop the explicit ignoring
of the uncore_ prefix since the globbing would take care of that.

I don't mind the strcmp as such, I wanted to get rid of the wildcard
matching without using '*' ... but as Andi said it's been out
there and it's been a while, so let's keep it

but if there's a way to make it simpler, let's go for it

thanks,

Sounds good. I have a new version ready (see sample output below).
But I wanted to ping about the other two patches before submitting.
Any feedback on those?

Thanks,
AgustÃn
