I'm not sure about the naming here.  The normal __ATTR macro is also
'named'.  Maybe something as awful as

__ATTR_STRING_NAME ? 

Greg what do you think?

This is all to allow us to have names with operators in them without
checkpatch complaining about them... A worthwhile aim just to stop
more people wasting time trying to 'fix' those cases by adding spaces.
