From: Elijah Wright <git@elijahs.space>
TRACE_SEQ_BUFFER_SIZE is dependent on the architecture for its size. on 64-bit
systems, it is 8148 bytes. forced 8-byte alignment in size_t and seq_buf means
that trace_seq is 8200 bytes on 64-bit systems. moving the buffer to the end
of the struct fixes the issue. there shouldn't be any side effects, i.e.
pointer arithmetic on trace_seq
