Really? This shall happen on the emacs-25 branch only. In the master
branch, there's no such code in autorevert.el. And that's also the
branch the fix in kqueue.c has been committed to.

I tested on the emacs-25 branch.

I guess what I saw was the effect of the fact that global auto-revet mode disables notifications.

I'll redo the test on the master branch.
