The "instance" bit is passed in a event user data to the kernel
and when the kernel returns the event it's checked against one
recorded in the event structure. If there is no match - this
means the event reported by the kernel is stale (i.e. we've
already closed the descriptor in the very same event loop
iteration).

See e.g. src/event/modules/ngx_kqueue_module.c for details, in
particular ngx_kqueue_set_event() and ngx_kqueue_process_events().
