[PATCH RFC 0/3] powerpc/ps3: refactor strncpy usage

[Justin Stitt]

Within this RFC-series I want to get some comments on two ideas that I
have for refactoring the current `strncpy` usage in repository.c.

When looking at `make_first_field` we see a u64 is being used to store
up to 8 bytes from a literal string. This is slightly suspect to me but
it works? In regards to `strncpy` here, it makes the code needlessly
complex imo.

Please see my two ideas to change this and let me know if any other
approaches are more reasonable.
