There's been talk (at BSDCam) of implementing inotify which is needed for the Linuxulator and exposing it in the FreeBSD API too. So your wish isn't so far fetched but I'm not sure anyone is actively working on it. Patches welcome :)

That would be a good decision. So far I've only seen an attempt to implement inotify on top of kqueue. Which of course will be buggy and incomplete.

Would be saner to extend kqueue and hang a Linuxlator inotify compatibility shim off of that; that'd isolate the mess to sys/compat/
