It is more sophisticated in the current implementation - for example,
libev will usually only invoke epoll_ctl after it receives an unwanted
event, i.e. when you stop to wait for EV_READ events, then libev will only
call epoll_ctl when it receives a read readiness notification.

I will also never issue epoll_ctl when the event set doesn't change.
