[take35 8/10] kevent: Kevent posix timer notifications.

[Evgeniy Polyakov]

Kevent posix timer notifications.

Simple extension to POSIX timers which allows
to deliver notification of the timer expiration
through kevent queue.

Example application posix_timer.c can be found
in archive on project homepage.
