Public bug reported:

This makes it difficult to use with a function that needs to take more
than a single positional parameter, or any keyword arguments; you have
to partially apply the function before calling mount_cb.

I propose adding `args` and `kwargs` parameters, which will be passed to
the callback function using *args and **kwargs.  (For bonus points,
refactor all current callsites to pass `args` so we can drop the `data`
argument entirely.)
