Should we have a more direct connection between the substituted mock
function names? So should we have mock_drm_gem_handle_create, and it'll
then mock that function only for the interesting parts, like here.

I know it might be equally confusing, too, when only a small portion of
the function is mocked. Especially if it's more of a side-effect like
here.
