kqueues really are the correct design for i/o multiplexing. I 
implemented these for QNX whilst at BlackBerry and you really began 
to realise just how the Linux approach is braindead at scale.

To my knowledge though, no progress. A good userspace emulation 
exists though, I think it even attempted to work on Windows :).
