We already have strim() which removes leading and trailing
whitespace.  But sure, that sounds like a good idea.  It would go in
front of strim() and strim would call it first then strim() would
look like this:

char *strim(char *s)
{
	trim_trailing(s);
	return skip_spaces(s);
}

Good luck on getting everyone to agree on a name for your function.
Python uses rstrip() for this.  CC Andrew Morton and lkml when you
have a patch ready.
