This looks uselful.

This desperately needs a comment. Please add a kernel doc style header
to this. (ie.:)
/**
* sprint_trace - one line description
* @buffer: what is the buffer
* @address: what is the address
*
* describe why this function exists and how to use it.
*
* Returns: what are the return values.
