[patch 1/4] add kstrndup

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: add-kstrndup.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4689 bytes --]

Add a kstrndup function, modelled on strndup.  Like strndup this
returns a string copied into its own allocated memory, but it copies
no more than the specified number of bytes from the source.

Remove private strndup() from irda code.
