would something like this work for you guys:

(this is not compile tested or anything, just a draft)

Basically this introduces drmHandleEvent2, which is drmHandleEvent with 
two additional arguments. The first one being a function pointer through 
which the 'remaining' events (which are not handled by the common code) 
are handled, and some (opaque) pointer to data that the handler might 
need.

In the vendor specific code I then introcuded exynos_handle_event which 
calls dramHandleEvent2 with a properly setup handler. vmwgfx could do 
the same here I guess.

With best wishes,
Tobias
