> The UnixNet subsystem was modified for epoll, but lots of the old data structures, data members and code
> remain for the old "bucket" approach.
> The epoll code should also be encapsulated to simplify support for other platforms and a possible move
> to an event library.
> The current code is complicated by limitations in Queue which require specifying the link field for every
> use, but which can be fixed by in the template.
> Finally, the current code does an unnecessary allocation for the epoll struct which should be part of the NetVConnection etc.
> and it takes a lock for the enable_queue which can be avoided by using the non-locking AtomicSSL.
> This work is also good preparation for evaluating libev or libevent as it will reduce the amount of code which
> will have to be changed.
