Shouldn't there also be a way to add non-filedescriptor based events
into this, such as "child exited" or "signal caught" or shm things?
Or should there simply be ways to make those events available
through filedescriptors anyway? Then you'd get /dev/events - open it, tell
it what kind of event you want to bind to the fd, pass it to bind_event,
read a struct event_info from it when there's something to read.
Just a random thought. Ignore if not appropriate.
Mike.
