Well, _kern_validate_set_partition_type()'s argument is a const char*, so I 
guess I know the answer for that one already, but the question stands for 
the other two.

Again, parameters is a const char*, so nevermind, but the "name" param is a 
regular char*. Is this for name truncation again (I was intending to return 
an error if the name were too long)?

Still an open question. :-)
