IMNSHO, str* functions have no business in arbitrary data. I have a
simple memstr() function in bogofilter that is GPL'd and can be imported
into the kernel, I believe:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/bogofilter/bogofilter/src/memstr.c?rev=HEAD

Yes, there is room for optimization, but as long as strstr isn't
optimized, who cares.
