+ *
+ * [Algorithm]
+ *
+ * - Create a pipe.
+ * - Build a chain of epoll instances of the given depth where the innermost
+ * monitors the pipe read end and each subsequent one monitors the previous.
+ * - Write data to the pipe.
+ * - Call epoll_wait on the outermost epoll instance and verify it reports
+ * EPOLLIN.
+ * - Walk the chain inward calling epoll_wait on each level and verify that
+ * every level reports EPOLLIN on the expected fd.
+ * - Read the data from the pipe to drain it.
