Subject: Re: [PATCH] ds: fix and test for FD leaks with kqueue on ->Reset

I forgot to note this drops "support" for libkqueue (which
emulates kqueue using epoll on Linux) because emulating
the unique close-on-fork behavior of kqueue is tricky
and libkqueue currently does not emulate close-on-fork.

Detecting the presence of close-on-fork in libkqueue is
also tricky, but maybe it can be fixed:
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=929857

So yeah, tt's too time-consuming to ensure libkqueue works
on Linux and ultimately pointless since we already support
epoll.  And I doubt there's any relevant kernels which
aren't covered by native kqueue besides Linux.
