Ok, I did my own versions, since (a) I had already started and your patches wouldn't apply, and (b) I hate adding a zillion lines of extra copyright notices for a 5-line function and (c) I think your patch had EXPORT_SYMBOL wrong.
In particular, if any architecture ever decides to roll their own version of strlcpy/strlcat, the EXPORT_SYMBOL() in ksyms.c would be the wrong thing to do.
The current BK tree has my totally untested versions of these functions ("Famous last words: 'how hard can it be?'"), along with what I think is the proper way to export them.
