4 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
5 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
6 ADD fails with EEXIST.
7 - work around spurious event notification bugs in epoll by using
8 a 32-bit generation counter. recreate kernel state if we receive
9 spurious notifications or unwanted events. this is very costly,
10 but I didn't come up with this horrible design.
11 - use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away with the
12 init functions.
13 - expand time-out strategies into a "Be smart about timeouts" section.
14 - drop the "struct" from all ev_watcher declarations in the
15 documentation and did other clarifications (yeah, it was a mistake
16 to have a struct AND a function called ev_loop).
17 - fix a bug where ev_default would not initialise the default
18 loop again after it was destroyed with ev_default_destroy.
19 - rename syserr to ev_syserr to avoid name clashes when embedding,
20 do similar changes for event.c.

5TODO: document 2.6.24-- breakage of inotify
6 - disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25, as it is broken 23 - disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25, as it is broken
7 (reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere). 24 (reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere).
8 - ev_stat errornously would try to add inotify watchers 25 - ev_stat errornously would try to add inotify watchers
9 even when inotify wasn't available (this should only 26 even when inotify wasn't available (this should only
10 have a performance impact). 27 have a performance impact).
