 - Add a cache-line padded mtx_aligned union and use it for the mutex pools.
-- Fix free race in eventhandlers:
-> In the macro "_EVENTHANDLER_INVOKE" in the file
-> "/sys/sys/eventhandler.h", you unlock the list lock
-> before calling the callback. That make sense. But what
-> happens if one process is in the callback, and another
-> process is deregistering this tag.
->
-> The solution is that the last thread
-> that has anything to do with a entry
-> frees it:
->
-> TAILQ_FOREACH()
-> {
->  refcount++;
->
->  EHL_UNLOCK();
->
->  callback();
->
->  EHL_LOCK();
->
->  refcount--;
->
->  if(refcount == 0)
->    free(entry);
-> }
->
-> At init:
->  refcount = 1;

-> At deregister:
->
-> EHL_LOCK();
->
-> refcount--;
-> if(refcount == 0)
->   free();

-> EHL_UNLOCK();
