Yes, something like that make sense

Presumably sync becomes emulated and turns into something generated
when the ioctl returns. So userspace would have to read the event FD
before returning to be correct?

Maybe the kernel can somehow return a flag to indicate the event fd
has data in it?

If yes then all errors would flow through the event fd?

Would Intel be basically the same too?
