In kcmdline it's possible to have a dot in the param's value. The
support for this was added in 66f3228 ("libkmod: Add support for '.' in
module parameter on kcmdline") and is needed to correctly support some
modules that depend on it.
The tests look OK. I tried to revert my fix and the test failed.

This test was added in order to make sure the commit  aa87854
("libkmod-config: Only match dot before '=' in /proc/cmdline") didn't
break it. Although that commit  message says it's allowing to match a
dot before '=' it's actually enforcing the first part of the string to
be always in the format "<module-name>.param". Dots after '=' are still
correctly allowed.
Yeah, the wording was not really clear.

Thanks,
Michal
