     30   A "changelist" is a list of all the fd status changes that should be made
     31   between calls to the backend's dispatch function.  There are a few reasons
     32   that a backend would want to queue changes like this rather than processing
     33   them immediately.
     34 
     35     1) Sometimes applications will add and delete the same event more than
     36        once between calls to dispatch.  Processing these changes immediately
     37        is needless, and potentially expensive (especially if we're on a system
     38        that makes one syscall per changed event).
     39 
     40     2) Sometimes we can coalesce multiple changes on the same fd into a single
     41        syscall if we know about them in advance.  For example, epoll can do an
     42        add and a delete at the same time, but only if we have found out about
     43        both of them before we tell epoll.
     44 
     45     3) Sometimes adding an event that we immediately delete can cause
     46        unintended consequences: in kqueue, this makes pending events get
     47        reported spuriously.
