and polling a subhal with another. The writing thread gets access to pointers
in the internal buffer. This design avoids a memcpy on write when the multihal
fetches subhal events using poll().
Unit-tests include multithreaded reading and writing lots of events, in
random-sized chunks.
This is not used by the multihal yet. That will be a different CL.
