kernel iconv support?

[David Yu]

Hi folks,
I was wondering why the kernel side iconv support is so incomplete. I
mean, only XLAT and XLAT 16 converters are implemented. Is there any
reason that we don't want to put all converters into the kernel (e.g.
too large)? Or just no one wrote it?
I think the iconv support is really important in filename conversion
in some file systems, especially for non-English users. A fully
functional iconv will be good for many people.
