Instead of duplicating almost identical code, can you write a function 
that takes whether the source is from user or from kernel, then you just 
do things like:

	if (from_user)
		len = strnlen_user(str, MAX_ARG_STRLEN);
	else
		len = strnlen(str, MAX_ARG_STRLEN);


	if (from_user)
		copy_from_user(kaddr+offset, str, bytes_to_copy);
	else
		memcpy(kaddr+offset, str, bytes_to_copy);
