OK, I'll make one thing clear here :

We must add a big big comment around the buf_access_ops to tell anyone
who ever consider using these in the tracing fast-path that it's _not a
good idea at all_. I know that you are just adding them so they can be
used generically be the binary-to-text converter, which is not fast path
anyway, but I foresee that people will want to misuse them and add an
unnecessary performance hit (many function calls) just for the fun of
adding another abstraction level in the tracing fast path.

So the implementation is OK, but please add a comment to that effect.
(cut and pasting text I write in these emails is OK by the way).
