[patch 5/5] eventfd+KAIO - KAIO eventfd support (example/maybe-broken) ...

[Davide Libenzi]

This is another example about how to add eventfd support to the current
KAIO code.
The KAIO code simply signals the eventfd fd when events are ready, and
this triggers a POLLIN in the fd.
I made a quick test program to verify the patch, and it runs fine here:

http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-aio-test.c

The test program uses poll(2), but it'd, of course, work with epoll too.
This can allow to schedule both block I/O and other poll-able devices
requests, and wait for results using select/poll/epoll.
