Would you mean overwriting the 'faulted' ? If so, you can do something like
faulted = 0;
for_each_user_event_func(user_event_func) {
faulted |= user_event_func();
}
if (faulted)
...
But I think if one user_event_func() fails to access the user data,
other funcs also fail. In this case, it is faster to skip others than
repeating faults.

OK, I got it.
