+         This option enables a simple self-test of the glob_match
+         function on startup.  It is primarily useful for people
+         working on the code to ensure they haven't introduced any
+         regressions.

+         It only adds a little bit of code and slows kernel boot (or
+         module load) by a small amount, so you're welcome to play with
+         it, but you probably don't need it.
