What I mean is that it would be nice to have do_select() and friends aware of that.
You are hiding the whole thing behind vfs_poll(); sure, we can't really exploit
that while we have the mix of converted and unconverted instances, but it would
be a nice payoff.
I have tried to move it out, but I don't think it makes sense yet,
given that we rely on passing the poll_table_struct everywhere.
Btw, another issue: the procs and debugfs forwarders are in fact
already broken right now for epoll and in-kernel callers. ->poll
returning does not mean it is safe to release the module - it
may still have an active wait_queue_entry on the waitqueue.
For now I think I'll drop the support for the proc/debugfs forwarders,
because they will need a real fix independent of this series.
