thank for the pointers to the mailing list... very enlightening.
I am going to try to write up an API for it this weekend with
some cooperation with others.  I will then give it a first pass
around the freebsd-hackers and linux-kernl mailing lists.  There
are a few unanswered questions as to what an event it and how to
handle them between threads and processes, but the general structure
of an event queue seems to be wanted by almost everybody.

I am not convinced by the usenix paper that this is the right way to
do things, yet.  state management is a bitch and taken too lightly
most of the time.
