> Right now eventq_get() blocks until an event is put on the queue (and waits forever if not.)  
> In order to schedule a timeout, a callout must be used, to post an event to the queue, if now other events are present.  This is inconvenient.
> eventq_get() should take an argument which is a timeout in OS ticks.  If timeout ticks have expired, and no events are present, the eventq_get() should return NULL.  If OS_WAIT_FOREVER is specified, then os_eventq_get() should maintain current behaviour.
