Minor nit: please don't use C99 comments, even for single line one.

It looks like this check is not needed? strn_len() will return 0 and the
caller will read 0 bytes from the user_buffer.

Minor nit: since you are touching the variables declaration, please fix
them to respect the reverse christmas tree order.

This patch is quite large and mixes several things. I'll split out at
least the strn_len() caller fixes (possibly even the num_arg() and
hex32_arg() ones) and the refactoring in pktgen_if_write().
