I meant, that I want to match any _future_ rpm matching of kmod-*, not just 
those _already_ installed.  So, let's say I have kmod-nvidia-1.xxxx 
installed.  I want the match to apply to kmod-nvidia-2.xxx which is not even 
released yet, as well as kmod-something-else.  Basically, I want to set 
multi-version on any current or future kmod-xxx.
