Comment (by nh2):

 I was wrong when I said:

 Replying to [comment:1 nh2]:
 > and the one in `awaitEvent()` aims to block as long as possible, so
 that's not a problem either.

 The `select()` occurrence in `awaitEvent()` waits for
 `sleeping_queue->block_info.target - now` so that also needs to be vetted
 on whether it has the `&tv` updating problem on non-Linux.
