Nit:

Since you mentioned "serially" here, perhaps just add a sentence to mention
that it is guaranteed by the raw spinlock inside seamldr_call()?

Nit:

IMHO such renaming is just a noise to this patch, since in patch 10/11 it's
clear that the 'params' you passed in is seamldr_params.  No?

Perhaps just name it 'seamldr_params' at patch 11?
