Embedding loop created with kqueue backend into the default loop

<?php
/*
* Check if kqueue is available but not recommended and create a kqueue backend
* for use with sockets (which usually work with any kqueue implementation).
* Store the kqueue/socket-only event loop in loop_socket. (One might optionally
* use EVFLAG_NOENV, too)
*
* Example borrowed from
* http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod#Examples_CONTENT-9
