I don't think that passing multiple files to epatch actually improves
readability. Simple example:

        # bug #123456, foo, bar
        epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${P}-foo.patch
        # bug #234567, baz bazinga blah blah
        epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${P}-baz.patch

With multiple arguments, you can't put comments in the middle.
