Updates shouldn't really make a difference. I agree with putting it
in seperate matches, but they can still be part of the same module
IMO. We currently have way to many modules basically doing the same
thing (match one field of packet data, match of field of meta data)
and I would like to get rid of the "one match per module" attitude.
