This is a very good idea! There was also a discussion about crypt()
recently, which is also too trivial to be packaged by itself.
Beware that eventfd is Linux-specific. The hypothetic project should
somehow cope with non-Linux platforms.
And I also have some bindings to ioctl() that manipulate serial ports
parameters buried in one of my other projects that should be elsewhere,
but are not significant enough (IMHO) to make a separate project [1].
