Another thing is we don't have to re-init this rwfds array again
and again. Instead, we could 

- set it up correctly when fdset_add is invoked: set the fd and
  events.

- reset revents when it's been handled at fdset_event_dispatch().

- swap with the last one and shrink the array on fd delete

Could you make a follow up patch for that?

Thanks.
