Well, this patchset already demonstrates that we can use a single event 
callback for a rather useful purpose.

Either it makes sense to do, in which case we should share facilities as much 
as possible, or it makes no sense, in which case we should not merge it at all.

Why should we have two callbacks next to each other:

	event_vfs_getname(result);
	result = check_event_vfs_getname(result);

if one could do it all?
