What I mean is that when we have a length object, such as 
dentry->d_name.len, then we do not even need a NUL, because we already know 
the size. But that's just one possibility.
If one uses str*() functions on the d_name.str, then of course, we need the 
NUL byte in there, then the question is if d_name.len is the string length 
with or without the NUL.
