OK, so I guess the eventfs nodes need an optional release callback. Here's
the right way to do that. I added a "release" function to the passed in
entry array that allows for calling a release function when the
eventfs_inode is freed. Then in code for creating events, I call
event_file_get() on the file being assigned and have the freeing of the
"enable" file have the release function that will call event_file_put() on
that file structure.

Does this fix it for you?
