This needs more explanation too.

Yuck! 4 snprintf(buf + pos, len > pos ? len - pos: 0 ...

Please make a wrapper for that.

Actually, this could use the new trace_seq code if I separate the
buffer. You would just need to do:

	struct trace_seq s;

	trace_seq_init(&s, buf, len);

	trace_seq_putc(&s, '"');
	for (i = 0; i < entry->nb_args; i++)
		trace_seq_printf(&s, "%s: 0x%%0%zulx%s", entry->args[i],
				sizeof(unsigned long),
				i == entry->nb_args - 1 ? "" : ", ");

	trace_seq_putc(&s, '"');

	for (i = 0; i < entry->nb_args; i++)
		trace_seq_printf(&s, ", ((unsigned long)(REC->%s)",
				entry->args[i]);

	return s.len;


Looks much better, and less error prone.
