Except why add all the complexity of an event shared between user mode and
kernel. Use the inverted call model, of call down with an IRP that pends
waiting for data, when the data is available fill in buffer of the IRP and
complete it. With overlapped I/O this will provide the event without all
the pain of doing it yourself in the driver.
