[Xen-devel] [PATCH] cmdline: treat hyphens and underscores the same

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>]

In order to avoid permanently having to ask that no new command line
options using underscores be introduced (albeit I'm likely to still make
remarks), and in order to also allow extending the use of hyphens to
pre-existing ones, introduce custom comparison functions treating both
characters as matching.
