Add a new function strreplace_nonalnum that replaces all non-alphanumeric characters. Such functionality is needed e.g. when a string is supposed to be used in a file name. If '\0' is given as new character then non-alphanumeric characters are cut.
There doesn't seem to be a maintainer or mailing list for lib/string.c Therefore I hope it's ok to submit this through the netdev tree.
