The idea was to make completion events as light weight as possible -- they
can be read from the queue without even entering kernel space. Support for
getting multiple completion events is also needed (sigtimed wait only pulls
one signal at a time). Nothing is stopping us from adding support to do
an async sigtimedwait that provides a completion event when a signal arrives.
