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).
