Also complicated is the case where waiting threads have different priorities, different timeouts, and different minimum event counts -- how do you decide which thread gets events first? What if the decisions are different depending on whether you want to maximize throughput or interactivity?
BTW, what is the intended use of the min event count parameter? The obvious reason I can see, avoiding waking up a thread too often with few queued events, would imo be handled cleaner by just passing a parameter telling the kernel to try to queue more events. With a min event count you'd have to use a rather low timeout to ensure that events get handled within a resonable time.
