Convert dev_alloc_name from O(n^2) lookup to O(n) by using a page as bitmap to figure out how many devices of that pattern have been allocated. This works for up to 32k devices (PAGE_SIZE*8) on i386, more on other platforms. Correctly handles the boundary cases where number of devices won't fit because name length is limited. Adds strnchr to the string libraries since we need to find the % format character, but only care if it is in the first 15 bytes.
