/* 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. */
