The added paragraph is slightly process oriented, rather than in
language of guarantees; I thought the implications were clear enough.
It does perhaps undersell the selectivity gained with string
class_names; only drm/* would sanely register DRM_UT_CORE etc, so
doing multiple "module {drm*,amdgpu,i915}" queries is unnecessary.
