It's kinda irritating that this will cheerfully accept bogus input of
the form "42foo". This happens about eleven billion times in sysfs
write() handlers but afaik we've never implemented a nice
sysfs_int_from_buffer() thingy which handles all the possible errors.

I thought there was.

strict_strtoul() ?
