Ok, to solve the problem in the way which should be good for both I
decided to implement additional syscall which will allow to mark any
event as ready and thus wake up appropriate threads. If userspace will
request zero events to be marked as ready, syscall will just
interrupt/wakeup one of the listeners parked in syscall.

I'll wait for the new code drop to comment.

Btw, what about putting aditional multiplexer into add/remove/modify
switch? There will be logical 'ready' addon?

Is it needed? Usually this is done with a *_wait call with a timeout of zero. That code path might have to be optimized but it should already be there.
