"linux kernel" :-)

However, now that I think of it, the naming is kinda imprecise having
only "kernel" in it - it only denotes that it is a library of stuff that
has grown in the kernel.

So how about

tools/lib/ktools/
tools/lib/kutils/
tools/lib/kernel-tools/
tools/lib/kernel-utils/
...

and

libktools.so
libkutils.so
...

?

I'd prefer ktools as in the tools/ directory of the kernel repo.
