I suppose one way of getting the async poll code up to snuff would be to
cache the poll registration in the file descriptor. Alternatively, the
iocb could simply persist until it is cancelled or a refire is permitted
(so that the event queue does not get overrun). Would you care to try
crunching the numbers with polltest on 2.5?
