Hello, Pavel

Thanks for your attention.

Actually, I considered to introduce a struct as your think, but finally I
choose to use arguments list instead of a struct, because:
1: User can easy to call this function without define a struct
2: Get rid of adding a additional struct into kernel

In fact, I think both(use a struct or not) should be ok.

Thanks
