This is precisely what I dislike: an ad hoc addition with the
necessity to be careful about what objects have to be regenerated
whenever something is touched or changed.
The pattern matching (already implemented in a previous attempt)
doesn't cost much in code (it is not a regex implementation) and
allows too to reduce listing of devices in order to not have literally
hundreds of entries to browse.
userconf is, for me, a debugging/developing tool too. So it can be
useful for more than drmkms to disable a whole range of devices
(whether by group name or by pattern matching if the namespace is
"ruled").
