Jonathan, wouldn't this be a good time to try to push our interface
on Linux? After all, we have several instances of it working and
having the Open Source community force a new design feature into
mainstream UNIX to address scalability would be very cool.
Basically, if Linux implements exactly the same thing but just
a bit different it would suck pretty badly for both camps.
Also Linus doesn't seem to realize the utility of the transparent
void * that kevent has:

Since you wrote kqueue, maybe you want to clue him in about the
wonders of our interface before they find themselves with a
deficient API that's not like anything else out there?
