Perhaps it also could be an more generic event notification op,
where some event id or bitmask tells what actually happened ?
Something like:

    ...
    void (*notify)(struct kobject *, struct attribute *, int event, void * param);
    ...

That would at least save one ptr of space and can be extended for
other stuff later.
