The previous patches regarding the error log sometimes call it error log
and sometimes event log. Can you consolidate that ?

Shouldn't we have a void * to attach with each client so it can put
its private data there and get them back in the handler ?

We are -really- re-inventing interrupts and/or notifiers here, which
I find a tad annoying..
