  | Why was this functionality removed?

  | It was provided because one of the concerns that various people had
  | about kqueue was the lack of the ability to dynamically register
  | (and unregister) extra filters.

  | Or are you providing a better way of solving that problem, and if so,

Oops; I took a deeper look at what you removed, and it was just the
ability to (un)register new filter names (to existing filter
functions) from userland, and not the underlying ability to
register new filters from within the kernel.

Apologies for the panic.

Luke.
