Thanks for the patch.  Unfortunately, it had a somewhat fatal bug, in
that it actually matched /all/ files in /etc/modprobe.d.  The problem is
that "/etc/modprobe.d/foo.conf" matches "^etc/modprobe\.d/.+(?!\.conf)$"
as the .+ consumes the entire of "foo.conf", which is then not followed
by ".conf".

I've applied a version with a fixed filename check and a rejigged -
hopefully that translates well enough :-) - description.
