After rethinking, it is possible that different DRM drivers will need 
some flexibility when it comes to calling genlmsg_put(), as they might 
want to have more of this call in order to attach some data related to 
the error indication.
In that case, adding a DRM function that wraps it may me redundant.
What do you think?
