It does not contain mapped buffer implementation, since it's design is not 100% completed, I will present that implementation in the third patchset. Changes from previous patchset: - rebased against 2.6.18-git tree - removed ioctl controlling - added new syscall kevent_get_events(int fd, unsigned int min_nr, unsigned int max_nr, unsigned int timeout, void __user *buf, unsigned flags) - use old syscall kevent_ctl for creation/removing, modification and initial kevent initialization - use mutuxes instead of semaphores - added file descriptor check and return error if provided descriptor does not match kevent file operations - various indent fixes - removed aio_sendfile() declarations. Thank you. Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Polyakov
