seems like a good idea...

Jelmer:

what will  be better:

int smb_register_*_event(event_struct *event)
{
                 return event_id;
}

or

NTSTATUS smb_register_*_event(event_struct *event, int *_event_id)
{
                 *_event_id = event_id;
                 return NT_STATUS_OK;
}

or
NTSTATUS smb_eregister_*_event(event_struct *event)
{
                 event->id = event_id;
                 return NT_STATUS_OK;
}

I also want to remove the *prev,*next from the event struct's and use 
internal event_list_entry structs...
