Description

```sv
module test( // bar.mlir:2:1
input [1:0] a, // bar.mlir:2:20
input [2:0] b, // bar.mlir:2:31
output [3:0] c, // bar.mlir:2:43
output [4:0] d // bar.mlir:2:54
);

ext e ( // bar.mlir:3:12
.a (a),
.b (b),
.c (c),
.d (d)
); // bar.mlir:3:12
endmodule
```

```bash
$ circt-verilog %s --ignore-unknown-modules
foo.sv:9:7: error: unsupported module member: UninstantiatedDef
ext e ( // bar.mlir:3:12
^
```

Research direction

Reproduce the shown circt-verilog command with --ignore-unknown-modules and trace the import path handling the UninstantiatedDef diagnostic. Done means the unknown ext instantiation no longer produces this error when the flag is enabled; the payload names no source files or tests to start from.
