Yeah, I thought about it. This seems to be a way more simplier.

Well, I thought about it as two sequences -- first is procfs seq-file, which prints out a general header, and second is extra fdinfo provider. Everything starts with printing procfs header seq_start -> seq_show (prints "pos:\t%lli\nflags:\t0%o\n") -> seq_next -> (if have extra driver we do extra's start/show at first, then next and etc). In other words general header should be shown always even if extra's start() fails.
