Oh, I agree.
And I think something like CLONE_EVENTS would be fine - and decide yourself what kind of threads you want (do you want indistinguishable "anonymous" threads like apache, or do you want a threads that handle separate event queues). Or you might have a mixture of the two - for web serving the "accept()" event list might be a separate thing with a few threads doing that, while "worker threads" handle the actual IO..
But if you want to have some event queue ID, I just wonder how you'd set it up sanely without tons of complications..
