* [oh, everybody will hate me for saying this, but...] to me, "kevent"
implies an internal kernel subsystem. I would rather call it "uevent"
or anything else lacking a 'k' prefix.
It is kernel subsystem indeed, which exports some of its part to
userspace.
I previously thought that prefix 'k' can only be confused with KDE.
It is a true statement to say "without the kevent subsystem, userspace
lacks uevent handling".
And let's be honest, the main consumers of this will be userspace apps,
and a few in-kernel users pretending to be userspace apps (kernel threads).
