Hmm, in very first versions I've been using one ->show method, but then I thought that this is not very correlate with seq-files idea where for each record show/next sequence is called. I'll update (this for sure will make code simplier, and I'll have to check for seq-file overflow after seq_printf call to not continue printing data for too long if buffer already out of space).
