Or you might create a point-to-point message queue and send a different
message, depending on what the event was. You'd probably do this via a
DeviceIoControl() to your driver. Maybe it returns the queue handle or
maybe it generates a unique name for the queue and returns that, leaving the
queue creation to the application. Or, you might create a new class of
notifications and have the application call RequestDeviceNotifications().
