Takashi found a bug in it:
---
a/lib/vsprintf.c~add-new-string-functions-strict_strto-and-convert-kernel-params-to-use-them-fix-2
+++ a/lib/vsprintf.c
@@ -234,7 +234,7 @@ int strict_strto##type(const char *cp, u

and I was very bad and didn't immediately prepare and upload the fix and
hence probably wasted a lot of your time, for which I apologise. In my
defense, it was 4:00AM Sunday and I had lost eye control by then.
Does that fix fix it? If not: patch overboard.
