Create a general, global watch list that can be used for the posting of
device notification events, for such things as device attachment,
detachment and errors on sources such as block devices and USB devices.
This can be enabled with:
CONFIG_DEVICE_NOTIFICATIONS
To add a watch on this list, an event queue must be created and configured:
fd = open("/dev/event_queue", O_RDWR);
ioctl(fd, IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE, page_size << n);
and then a watch can be placed upon it using a system call:
device_notify(fd, 12);
Unless the application wants to receive all events, it should emplace
appropriate filters.

+There is a global watch list that hardware generated events, such as device

+Watchpoints are set in userspace using the device_notify(2) system call.
