Well that's certainly a valid use case, but I suggest to change the 
implementation of the existing functions to call the new ones with offset=0.

This way we only have one implementation.

Uff well that absolutely looks like overkill to me.

That's a rather special use case as far as I can see and I think we 
should only have this in the common framework if more than one driver is 
using it.
