I just happened to be working with Neils Provos' /dev/poll patch
(porting it to 2.3/2.4).

For those of you who are interested, the patch is available at:

http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~mostrows/devpoll.patch

The patch is against 2.4.0-test1-ac7, though I think it should apply
cleanly against any recent version. This patch is hot out of XEmacs
--- I just got it working this morning (tested with Provos' modified
thttpd). Consider that as the standard disclaimer.

I'll take this opportunity to refer interested readers to an excellent
paper by Niels Provos' on the topic:

"Scalable Network I/O in Linux":
