/* This is used to be able to signal the event loop (or any other
   select/poll) of events, in a race-free manner.

   For example, a signal handler can defer non-async-signal-safe work
   to the event loop, by having the signal handler set a struct
   serial_event object, and having the event loop wait for that same
   object to the readable.  Once readable, the event loop breaks out
   of select/poll and calls a registered callback that does the
   deferred work.  */
