I fully agree that a simple, single string will not scale even in some, not 
so uncommon cases, but there is already a lot of existing lookup solutions 
over the kernel and so there is no point in introducing another one.

I'm trying to get _rid_ of lookup "solutions" and just use a real
pointer, as you should.  I'll go tackle those other ones after this one
is taken care of, to show how the others should be handled as well.

What are the problems you are seeing with doing things with lookups?
Having to write platform data for everything gets old fast and the code
duplication is pretty tedious...
