BTW. Not compiling in DEVICE_POLLING has any advantages except few bytes
smaller kernel?
I wonder if we could drop yet another kernel option and just set
kern.poll.enable to 0 by default.
If adding DEVICE_POLLING to the kernel doesn't cost additional locking, etc.
in network data flow paths (which could lead to performance impact in some
specific environments) can we just compile the code in always?
