Kevent subsystem incorporates several AIO/kqueue design notes and
ideas. Kevent can be used both for edge and level triggered notifications.

It supports:
o socket notifications (accept, receiving and sending)
o network AIO (aio_send(), aio_recv() and aio_sendfile()) [3]
o inode notifications (create/remove)
o generic poll()/select() notifications
o timer notifications

More info, design notes, benchmarks (web server based on epoll, kevent, 
kevent_poll; naio_send() vs. send(), naio_recv() vs. recv() with different number 
of sending/receiving users) can be found on project's homepage [1].

Userspace interface was greatly described in LWN article [2].
