Something like:

    while (i < (sizeof(av) * 8)) {
        if ((perm & av)  && perms[i]) {
            if (!(perm & avdenied))
                trace_seq_printf(p, " %s", perms[i]);
            else
                trace_seq_printf(p, " !%s", perms[i]);
            av &= ~perm;

And you get information about denied too.
