I think I will add a:

void *pevent_get_field_raw(stuct trace_seq *s,
			struct event_format *event, 
			char *field_name,
			struct record *record,
			int **field_len);

which will return a pointer into record->data and set the field_len to
the actual size.

This will be useful for dynamic arrays too, since it is more complex
than just using a field->offset.
