Thinking more on syslets/threadlets and kevent. [ND]


As I showed, thread-like AIO design is utterly broken when things come to networking, so if this will be accepted, network programmer, who cares about performance, will need to wait on two types of events - AIO events, which populates data from disks, and polling for network socket events. Eventually someone will reinvent/extend kevent to support AIO notifications.
Likely if I will add futex waiting into kevent, things will works just out of the box.
There is a post in my draft box, which will be the latest one in kevent serie - I'm only waiting for -rc1 release so that I could resend kevent the last time.
