Considering that you've requested a change to the uAPI, the work has now become
more predictable. I can plan for it within the task and update the required
time budget accordingly. However, it's worth noting that while this work is
manageable, the time spent on this particular task could be seen as somewhat
wasted from a budget perspective, as it wasn't part of the original scope.

I can probably take a stab at the kernel side, since I know the code
already shouldn't take me more more than an hour. Would that help?
You'd still need to retest, fix bugs. And go thru review.. so all
the not-so-fun parts

Especially that we're talking about uAPI, once we go down
the string path I presume they will stick around forever.  

Yes, I agree with it. I just needed this feedback as early as possible.

Andrew? Do you want to decide? :)

I agree about avoiding free test strings. Something more structures
would be good.

I can definitely help out with review, but i don't have any time at
the moment for writing code.
