Perhaps we should do something like:

#ifdef SWIG
# define __print_attribute(x)
#else
# define __print_attribute(x) __attribute__ ((x))
#endif

and here we can do:

extern int trace_seq_printf(struct trace_seq *s, const char *fmt, ...)
	__print_attribute(format (printf, 2, 3));

Ug, that's leftover. You can just delete it.

Again, we should put an #ifdef  SWIG around the definition of __unused.

Same for __thread

Otherwise, looks good!
