Yah, seems to me roughly like the overhead of selwakeup(), except not
nearly as pathological when multiple things are looking at a particular
e.g. socket.

I have no beef with kqueue other than the lack of really really really
generic event type stuff.

For example, luke said EVFILT_DEVICE -- ok, so, the problem is that you
get notified that an EVFILT_DEVICE event occurred... was it an insert or
a removal?  How do you tell?  Unless I missed something, there doesn't
seem to be any way of passing down ancillary data with the event.
