*
+ * The trace_seq is a handy tool that allows you to pass a descriptor around
+ * to a buffer that other functions can write to. It is similar to the
+ * seq_file functionality but has some differences.
+ *
+ * To use it, the trace_seq must be initialized with trace_seq_init().
+ * This will set up the counters within the descriptor. You can call
+ * trace_seq_init() more than once to reset the trace_seq to start
+ * from scratch.
+ *
+ * The buffer size is currently PAGE_SIZE, although it may become dynamic
+ * in the future.
+ *
+ * A write to the buffer will either succed or fail. That is, unlike
+ * sprintf() there will not be a partial write (well it may write into
+ * the buffer but it wont update the pointers). This allows users to
+ * try to write something into the trace_seq buffer and if it fails
+ * they can flush it and try again.
