For me that looks good. As one of those requesting for that change (actually
proxying the request from glib people for a appel's kqueue64 compatible
interface). I find this approach more clever.

As far as I remember it perfectly fits glib folks requirements (unfortunatly I
could not reach out any of them to review yet)

Here is a mail describing their requirement at the time:

In any case it opens the doors to be able to use kevent based timers with a
nanonsecond precision useful, so looks good to me.

Thank you,

Best regards,
