So, the patch itself makes sense. But it does end up looking kinda
funky. We call it a "str"ing and then annotate it as not a string.

It doesn't have to be done in this patch, but it does seem like we
should probably not be using 'char' and also shouldn't call it anything
close to "string". Maybe:

	u8 message[64] __nonstring;

In any case, feel free to carry the annotation in your tree:
