 That's a good question, you think they should converge some way?

 If the chardev API can tell that a fd belongs to a certain subsystem,
then maybe we could move the machinery of connected/disconnected events
down there.

 But that's only an internal refactoring, at first I think we'll have
to add different events for each subsystem we're interested in.
