We are working on renaming the other data structures. As for the
"trace_" it is really "trace_seq_*" That's not going to get renamed. We
may move it to another header file. It matches the trace_seq_* code in
the kernel, and I would like to keep that the same.

For this patch series, do you want to take the patch set, or just pull
from my branch?
