64 * (FIXME: jens mentioned timeout commands, need to investigate) 63 * (from what I gather from the author Jens Axboe, it simply didn't
64 * occur to him, and he made good on it by adding an unlimited nuber
65 * of timeouts later :).
65 * h) there is a hardcoded limit of 4096 outstanding events. okay, 66 * h) initially there was a hardcoded limit of 4096 outstanding events.
66 * at least there is no arbitrary low system-wide limit... 67 * later versions not only bump this to 32k, but also can handle
67 * (FIXME: apparently, this was increased to 32768 in later kernels( 68 * an unlimited amount of events, so this only affects the batch size.
