any ETA on that?

The whole concept of generic events making life easier for casual users 
goes out the window if we're going to let them run experiments with bogus 
events.

If the IVB events are wrong we should just zero them out and give ENOENT 
for the entire lot of them rather than pretend like the kernel has useful 
event definitions.
