I thought about this some more.  I think the real issue is probably
that the app is sleeping blah_get_event() on a blocking fd.  If the
app doesn't want to block in that function forever, then it should use
poll() with a wake-up pipe() fd as well as the event fd.  (I'm also
not sure what's so bad about pthread_kill() as a wake-up)
