 Thanks for the clarification, John! I just wanted to make sure that 
 there is some interest before we proceed. (This is why I also clarified 
 motivation for that option.)
 
 Just to be clear, I am not super familiar with this code, and as I 
 previously mentioned, I just ported those changes from OpenBSD/FreeBSD 
 so that I can use EVFILT_USER when compiling programs. That particular 
 piece of code in kqueue looked very similar to that of NetBSD, i.e., 
 that was not super hard to port it. So my knowledge may not necessarily 
 be complete. (For example, I cannot really say why f_touch is used since 
 it was in OpenBSD/FreeBSD code.) However, there are some specific 
 changes for NetBSD which I made due some differences with 
 OpenBSD/FreeBSD, I will recollect and post it here.
 
 Does it sound good?
