Sorry for the late review. I finally got some time to look at this.

You do not want to hardcode the 256 here. That will cause 256 bytes to be
reserved on the buffer, and you will not get that back. Might as well make
it a static array, as you also add 4 bytes to for the offset and size.

I think you want (haven't tested it)

		__dynamic_array(char, msg, get_msg_size(vaf))

Where you have:

static unsigned int get_msg_size(struct va_format *vaf)
{
	va_list aq;
	unsigned int ret;

	va_copy(aq, vaf->va);
	ret = vsnprintf(NULL, 0, vaf->fmt, aq);
	va_end(aq);

	return min(ret + 1, 256);
}

What is in the last parameter of __dynamic_array() is used to calculate the
size needed to store the dynamic array.

Hmm, looking at other users of __dynamic_array(), this appears to be a
constant problem. I need to document this better.
