+[`kqueue`], [`getxattr`], [`lgetxattr`], [`fgetxattr`], [`listxattr`],
+[`llistxattr`], and [`flistxattr`] now use the new [`Buffer` trait].
+
+This replaces `read_uninit`, `pread_uninit`, `recv_uninit`, `recvfrom_uninit`,
+and `getrandom_uninit`, as the `Buffer` trait supports reading into
+uninitialized slices.
+
+`epoll::wait` and `kqueue` previously took a `Vec` which it implicitly cleared
+before results were appended. When passing a `Vec` to `epoll::wait` or `kqueue`
+using [`spare_capacity`], the `Vec` is not cleared first. Consider clearing the
+vector before calling `epoll::wait` or `kqueue`, or consuming it using
+`.drain(..)` before reusing it.
