Which is one of the reasons I'd rather not see these things cropping up in
linux/time.h. Either put them in linux/select.h (mirroring userspace) or
stick them in linux/poll.h with the rest of the polling paraphernalia.

__FD_SET() and co aren't exported to userspace anyway, as I understand it, so
it shouldn't hurt to bung them in linux/poll.h, and if they are exported to
userspace, they should stay in posix_types.h, shouldn't they?

To support this, at least three #includes will have to be added to
linux/time.h: linux/posix_types.h (which is fair enough), linux/bitops.h and
linux/string.h.
