Eeerg. This is likely to become an attack target itself. Stored function
pointer with stored (3rd) argument.

This doesn't seem needed: only DRM uses it, and that's for error
reporting. I'd rather plumb back errors in a way to not have to add
another place in the kernel where we do func+arg stored calling.
