Yep, the real issue here is file systems, not the kernel. But yes,
this is one of the very few places where the kernel deals with a
string - and because of the hairiness of having to handle myriad file
systems in a single path (imagine multiple levels of remote mounts -
I've had a case where I mount via sshfs a tree that includes a Samba
mount point, and you can go a lot deeper than that), the only thing it
can do is pass the bytes on unchanged. Which means, in reality, the
kernel doesn't actually do *anything* with the string, it just passes
it right along to the file system.
