OK, 'git rebase' is SUPER AWESOME!!!

I just did a git rebase, moved this change to before the file move, and
git somehow knew that the change was for the old file, and updated it
without any modification from me. The rebase simply succeeded!

I checked, the change still changed seq_buf.c, but in the
old kernel/trace directory.
