I'll add kerneldoc in v2 patchset if I have to resend, otherwise I'll
send a delta patch for this.

The list_head version has the name seq_list_start_head().

If you need to print a title in a seq_file, call seq_list_start_head()
in ->start() handler, otherwise call seq_list_start().

Those functions really need kerneldoc. ;)

No, the ->start() callback of seq_operations shouldn't update *ppos.
I fixed some bugs in ftrace debugfs files which were caused by
updating *ppos in start().
