Indesiciveness has certainly been an issue here, but I remember akpm and Ulrich both giving concrete suggestions. I was particularly interested in Andrew's request to explain and justify the differences between kevent and BSD's kqueue interface. Was there a discussion that I missed? I am very interested to see your work on this mechanism merged, because you've clearly emphasized performance and shown impressive results. But it seems like we lose out on a lot by throwing out all the applications that already use kqueue.
kqueue looks pretty nice, the filter/note models in particular. I don't see anything about ring buffers though.
I also wonder about the asynchronous event side (send), not just the event reception side.
