Putting the space in the trace buffer definitely doesn't makes sense.
Ah. Looking back the CCIX code I assumed it was serialized so could use a
static buffer.

Looking at other similar cases though and we have a lot of use
of trace_seq_printf() e.g. libata_trace_parse_status() though note
there is some magic macro stuff in include/trace/events/libata.h 
to tie that together.
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/ata/libata-trace.c#L14

That seems to get you access to the actual buffer we are printing into
in similar cases.

With the allocation problem, definitely not. With that solved, it's not a huge amount
of extra code.  Also rather nicely 'documents' meaning of the valid bits.

I'm a kernel hacker. I like to not need much beyond echo and cat :)
