>Description:
the newly supported poll(2) routine still has no real kernel support.
All the poll event entry points are still required to use
struct selinfo, with selrecord and selwakeup to deal with the
events.

When do we plan to create an equivalent of the SYSV 
pollwakeup and struct pollhead to natively deal with poll(2)?

Also, till such time selinfo, selwakeup and selrecord are used,
a man page describing the functionality would do good.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
implementation of pollwakeup :)
