  • We would hang forever when passing a zero to string_get_size().
    Furthermore, string_get_size() would produce decimals on a value small
    enough to be exact. Finally, a few formatting issues are inconsistent
    with standard SI style guidelines.

    - If the value is less than the divisor, skip the entire rounding
    step. This prints out all small values including zero as integers,
    without decimals.
    - Add a space between the value and the symbol for the unit,
    consistent with standard SI practice.
    - Lower case k in kB since we are talking about powers of 10.
    - Finally, change "int" to "unsigned int" in one place to shut up a
    gcc warning when compiling the code out-of-kernel for testing.

  • This patch adds the ability to print sizes in either units of 10^3 (SI)
    or 2^10 (Binary) units. It rounds up to three significant figures and
    can be used for either memory or storage capacities.

    Oh, and I'm fully aware that 64 bits is only 16EiB ... the Zetta and
    Yotta units are added for future proofing against the day we have 128
    bit computers ...
