After brief evaluation it still doesn't look easy. The simplest thing
I could imagine is to probably combine file_path and file_offset at a
struct object on stack and then pass the object by the reference along
function calls. I expect it will roughly cause the same amount of changes
in the code and saves one argument (GP register). It is not that much
but still. However I don't see issues with passing even 6 args on stack.
