It depends on where this generic function would be. From userland, we 
could have 20 functions that will all create the parameter set for this 
one generic function, which is a syscall.
The underlying FS could also have this one generic function. Having 
only one generic function (or a small set of functions) would make the 
FS API easier.

Adios...
