Absolutely.  But as this is an ABI addition I wanted to have something
to give it a decent workout before it gets applied.
So far the only problems I've found are the alignment and isolation
issues already mentioned.

Explicit padding for 64-bit alignment makes sense to me.

One more thing - since it is possible to lose change events due to fifo
overflow, how about adding a seqnum?  And if you do end up doing a v2 of
the event ABI to fix its alignment, adding one there as well.
