Linux-compatible user event notification

eventfd
is a Linux-borne facility for
sending and receiving user events via a file descriptor. While the facility
itself is somewhat dubious (it can be mimicked in an entirely portable way
with a pipe), it is small and straightforward and this implementation is
entirely compatible with its Linux antecedent; see
eventfd(3C) for details.
