Can you comment other issuses? Is this by design or is this bug?

- with kevent sync for transmiting need first register
  EVFILT_WRITE/EV_DISABLE and after every write
  EVFILT_WRITE/EV_DISPATCH

- with kevent sync all opening /dev/netmap and registering need do
  from same thread as kevent using for sinc (unless no RX/TX).
