 * the callback with @revents_filled==%TRUE if any of its @fds changed state.
 * The callback may also be invoked at other random times with @revents_filled=%FALSE.
 * It is supposed to return %TRUE if network processing is currently necessary, and
 * %FALSE if not.
 * If %FALSE is returned, @timeout_p may be filled with the number of milliseconds
