Oh well.

I do wonder if we shouldn't just use something like I do wonder if we shouldn't just use something like "skip leading zeroes, copy to size-limited stack location instead" "skip leading zeroes, copy to size-limited stack location instead" because the input length really *is* limited once you skip leading zeroes (and whatever base marker we have). We might have at most a 64-bit value in octal, so 22 bytes max.

But I guess just changing the two GFP_KERNEL's to GFP_ATOMIC is much simpler.
