In fact, there is no fasync support available with RTDM, specifically as =

using signals under real-time constraints is a bad idea (not only=20
because Xenomai has no hard-RT signal support).

But before suggesting any alternative pattern: What does your=20
application actually require to work? How does asynchronous=20
driver/application interaction currently look like?
