Yes, the entire seq_*() operations are ambiguous in how they handle
filling the buffers. Don't worry about side effects of using one seq
operation over another (I highly doubt anyone will notice).

I had to stop doing the cleanups to work on other things, but I have
patches to make all seq operations perform the same (and also use the
new seq_buf infrastructure).

And, please ignore any return value from the seq operations. If you
want to know if the buffer is full use seq_has_overflowed() to find out.

I'll try to continue this clean up as a side project.
