All this seems sensible enough though I think it'd
be nicer if all the touch-ups were compressed into
a single patch.

and some trivia:

Maybe remove the extern bits from the function definitions?
And maybe the unsigned int len/cnt could be size_t

Maybe the PAGE_SIZE uses could be ARRAY_SIZE(s->buffer)

min_t?
maybe this should be FIELD_SIZEOF(struct trace_seq, buffer) - 1
