Ah, so basically you just backported the seq_buf.c code without
modifying the trace_seq code. That's a good approach. I don't have much
time to look at these but I'll try to skim them to see if I find
anything broken.

I may pull all of them into a test branch and run my tests to make sure
they don't break anything else.
