Kevent.


Discussion about kevents in linux-kenel@ has come to interesting point. Here is couple of citations:

	Go fuck yourself
 ...
 	In a decent society you would have your nose broken

• remove non-chardev interface for initialization (Christoph Hellwig)
• use pointer to kevent_mring instead of unsigned longs (Christoph Hellwig)
• use aligned 64bit type in raw user data (can be used by high-res timer if needed)
• simplified enqueue/dequeue callbacks and kevent initialization (based on work by Eric Dumazet)
• use nanoseconds for timeout
• put number of milliseconds into timer's return data
• move some definitions into user-visible header
• removed filenames from comments
