Hah. Ack. Did anybody ever actually notice?

I wonder if the newer limit of 64 characters for kworkers shouldn't
even be mentioned at all, and if the 16-byte truncation for user space
should also be just removed.

Those limits should never have been some documented API, they were
always just implementation details, after all.
