    Right now, the way devd/devctl works, it simply polls that device for changes.

    Interesting. Are you suggesting we ditch /dev/devctl and define event
    filters instead inside NEWBUS? Assuming kqueue can be made to play with
    SMP and that we can push Giant out of it this might not be such a bad idea.

    The routing daemon I've been working on (currently stalled due to other work)
    uses kqueue for all network and system event dispatch. I'm very happy with
    kqueue.
