 *
 * Returns an array of pointers to strings which are split out from
 * @str.  This is performed by strictly splitting on white-space; no
 * quote processing is performed.  Multiple whitespace characters are
 * considered to be a single argument separator.  The returned array
 * is always NULL-terminated.  Returns NULL on memory allocation
 * failure.
 *
 * The source string at `str' may be undergoing concurrent alteration via
 * userspace sysctl activity (at least).  The argv_split() implementation
 * attempts to handle this gracefully by taking a local copy to work on.
