Well, can the MAD core even generate timeouts for trap repress or
response messages?  If so, I don't see a good reason for these events
to be available to the kernel but not to userspace consumers.

It's much easier for consumers to ignore events they're not interested
in than it is for consumers to deal with not getting events they want.
