I won't object to you comitting it, but I think it's a huge waste
of effort and space, not to mention introducing yet another MALLOC
allocation which can potentially deadlock the system at a critical
juncture. The kernel just doesn't have any sort of serious
string handling problem that using snprintf() and strlcpy() couldn't
fix in a second.
