Ha, well _that_ is subjective! I really think they help when it comes to
regex syntax. However...

...oh, nice, that got simplified a whole lot by ff09f6fd2972 ("modpost,
kallsyms: Treat add '$'-prefixed symbols as mapping symbols") in the
recent merge window, so I can definitely simplify the regex.

Looks about right.
