IMO this is too implicit - it's literally a magic value. I'd prefer to
keep it this way for the same reason I didn't want to have implicit
BIAS settings. I prefer the kernel uAPI to be explicit and then we can
wrap it in simple helpers in the library.

I guess you're right. You even made me think we could go as far as to
embed the whole gpioline_info structure in struct gpioline_changed.
I'd still keep the event type though - otherwise we'd have to assume
the user always calls LINEINFO_IOCTL before obtaining the LINECHANGED
fd.

Sure thing!
