Yes please! :)

Can you actually split this into two patches? One with the lkdtm changes
and one with the string.h changes?

I can take the lkdtm changes and then akpm can take the string.h changes
(please add him as the To for v2, and include lkml in Cc too). (Also,
it's be nice to have a non-subobject fortify test in lkdtm too.)

Thanks for doing this! Please consider these:
