v3:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org/msg116800.html

For v4, patch 5/6 is new and has been moved into this series. It has
also been updated to use strlcat() instead of strncat(). No other
changes.

Also, though patch 3/6 is generic, it needs to be carried in this
series as we crash on powerpc without that patch.
