Motivation for this change

In particular, this allows setting CONFIG_CMDLINE to a value with
multiple space-seperated parameters. Other variables also take free-form
strings and might similarly benefit.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

do we still need the \S then ?

Without the terminating \S, the .* will match trailing whitespace. The original pattern ignored leading and trailing whitespace and I didn't want to change that behavior.

would be cool to have a test for it. Maybe also change the branch to merge to to staging as this PR triggers many rebuilds.

A test for that might be a bit overkill.

Since most of the packages built here are kernel modules, I will merge this right away to master.
