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?
