It is MUCH easier to do that in the library routine.
Doing in the kernel either requires repeated calls to copyinstr()
with ever longer buffers or a new strlen_user() function in every
architecture.

16 is enough for now! changing it to 32 is pointless.
If it needs to be bigger then space for the name needs to be malloc().
