This part I have issues with (see below).

Please break this up into multiple patches. The above are actually
maintained by the subsystems they are used in. Those changes should go
through them. But I have issues with these changes as I mention below.

Note, __string() adds a little bit more overhead. If the length is small
enough (like 16 or 8, as the above are) then it is more efficient in both
speed and size of the ring buffer to use the hard coded array, and not use
the dynamic string.

NACK on the above change.

Again, do not blindly change fixed size strings to dynamic size, as the
code requires more work to do the dynamic allocation and takes up 4 more
bytes to store the meta data holding the size and offset of the string.

The below changes can be sent as its own patch, and I can take it.
