Maybe use lib/parser.c where the other match_<foo> functions
are already.

match_glob has the disadvantage that it's recursive too.

trace has:

kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c:static int regex_match_full(char *str, struct regex *r, int len)
kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c:static int regex_match_front(char *str, struct regex *r, int len)
kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c:static int regex_match_middle(char *str, struct regex *r, int len)
kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c:static int regex_match_end(char *str, struct regex *r, int len)

but there probably aren't many more that could be converted.
