Those three things are:
1) Bank solvency
2) Sovereign stress
3) Bank funding
It's interesting how when addressing bank funding and bank solvency (naked CDS/stock shorting ban), the sovereign risk seems to have blown out.
Over the next three years, ~$1.7 trillion worth of debt needs to be rolled out (either paid or kicked down the road with the issuance of new debt). An EFSF levered 4x-5x will not be able to cover such an amount, not to mention the bank recaps and continual buying of securities. A number closer to $2 trillion would be needed... but seeing as how bond auctions can barely get covered in Europe as it is now, all with extremely high yields, it does not seem like this problem is shrinking nor solved.
