There is the patch, suggested by Roman Divacky, implementing Linux 
epoll(7) functionality: 
http://rys.vlakno.cz/~rdivacky/patches/linux_epoll.patch

This patch was suggested 5 years ago and was discussed on emulation@:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2008-March/004409.html
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2008-March/004428.html

Discussion stalled back then, and epoll is still unimplemented.

Anybody can identify any issues with this patch?
Are there any alternatives?

Yuri
