Hi,

on https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Kernel/Experimental#Dealing_With_Patch_Conflicts_.28if_you_use_User_Patches.29 we write

> You see that I use BFQ here as a value as example;
> this will match any patches named *BFQ*, it is matching
> using wildcards so that way the full patch name (which might
> change) doesn't have to be specified.

This is wrong, we don't match "*BFQ*", we only match "BFQ*".

See http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/eclass/kernel-2.eclass?view=markup#l1024


Also, consider adding a paragraph to explain where to find the patch names to use with UNIPATCH_EXCLUDE...


Reproducible: Always
