Some companies are using large numbers of patch files in SRC_URI.
Rightly or wrongly that exposes a performance problem where the code
does not handle the large string manipulations in a way which works
efficienty in python.
This is a modified version of a patch from z00539568
<zhangyifan46@huawei.com153340508@qq.com which addresses the performance
problem. I modified it to use a more advanced regex, retain the "*" check
and cache the regex.
