Strings in the kernel module #31

The one thing we *know* must be inefficient in the kernel module is the 
way it handles strings.

1. str[n]cmp is going to compare more than is needed, if we just want to 
know if two strings are equal or not
2. There are bound to be places where a simple hash of the string would be 
better (see (1))
3. And I really need to stop copying strings...

Extract that last item (not copying strings) as a separate issue, issue 34
