I had thought about that. But with potentially very many fd
events I could imagine that the memory overhead becomes
significant. Both malloc and talloc add their own headers.
All that for a single int. Thus I opted for the union in the
fd event. We could also add a separate additional_int there,
but this would add overhead to the other backends.
