Let's try this one for size. First patch adds strlcpy and strlcat. The
second patch applies to my initial offender, drivers/base.

I'll do obvious conversions of the rest of tree over the next week and
hope that the architectures will be able to do optimized versions in the
same time frame. If everything works out ok, strncpy (and maybe strncat)
can be either marked deprecated or just removed altogether.
