I just pushed out the changes and my new example looks like this:

static int
kvm_emulate_insn_handler(struct trace_seq *s, struct record *record,
                         struct event_format *event, void *context)
{
        unsigned char *data;
        int len;
        int i;

        data = pevent_get_field_raw(s, event, "insn", record,
                                    &len, 1);
        if (!data)
                return -1;

        trace_seq_puts(s, "insn: ");
        for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
                trace_seq_printf(s, "%s%02x",
                                 i ? "," : "",
                                 data[i]);
        }

        return 0;
}
