Why not give this entry function two params. The first the mode and second a
untyped pointer.
Depending on the mode this entry function casts the pointer to some struct
containing the needed vars and then calls the apropriate function with that
struct (or the values in the struct). This would give the flexibility you
want with the "simple" first solution.
