    73	eventfd_wakeup_delay_msec
  > 74	------------------
    75	Frequent writing of an eventfd can also lead to frequent wakeup of the peer
    76	read process, resulting in significant cpu overhead.
    77	How ever for the NON SEMAPHORE eventfd, if it's counter has a nonzero value,
    78	then a read(2) returns 8 bytes containing that value, and the counter's value
    79	is reset to zero.
    80	So it coule be optimized as follows: N event_writes vs ONE event_read.
    81	By adding a configurable delay after eventfd_write, these unnecessary wakeup
    82	operations are avoided.
    83	The max value is 100 ms.
