evport: Remove artificial low limit on max events per getn call Previously, evport could only handle up to 8 events per time through the loop. This would impose an artificially high number of syscalls on us to retrieve a large number of events. This code allows the EVLOOP_* flags to work more similarly to how they do on other platforms (up to 4096 events per syscall). Dispite dire warning (from 2006), doing this won't impose a big incremental RAM penalty: if you have 4096 events firing at once, you necessarily have a proportional number of events pending, and their associated data structures are already costing a good bit of RAM. This patch makes the main/many_events_slow_add test pass again.
