If you are trying to parse an ascii internet address in the kernel,
you're quite possibly making a bad design mistake - why is it still in
text format? If you're passing it in from another program, you should be
passing a sockaddr struct.
Failing that, you'll just have to steal the code from libc and bring it
in yourself.
