[re: PATCH v2 00/15 - 05/11] dyndbg: change +T:name_terminator to dot

From: Jim Cromie

This replaces ',' with '.' as the char that ends the +T:name.

This allows a later patch to treat ',' as a space, which mostly
eliminates the need to quote query/rules. And this in turn avoids
quoting hassles:

modprobe test_dynamic_debug dyndbg=class,D2_CORE,+p

It is particularly good for passing boot-args into test-scripts.

vng -p 4 -v \
-a test_dynamic_debug.dyndbg=class,D2_CORE,+p
