We have a device pointer to an ident_t object. We don't know the corresponding host address and we are on the host. We can copy over the ident_t with a single d2h but for the string we now need to either launch a kernel that computes `strlen` on the device or copy it byte-by-byte, neither are good options. Instead, we can simply embed the string length in the otherwise unused ident_t field and copy it over with a second d2h memcpy.
