Since you inadvertently forced me to give this some though, I have
implemented the method using timerfd that I outlined in my last reply.

The latest CVS version at http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html
has support for this, but I plan to release libev 4.31 using this in a few
hours.

Basically, when the first ev_periodic watcher is started, libev tries
to create a timerfd and then rearms it on every timejump, rescheduling
periodics instantly.

If you want to give it a try, feel free, but also feel free to not to if
you are busy :) Feedback, of course, welcome.

Thanbks for nudging me, I planned to do this for a long time.
