[RFC PATCH for-next 1/4] epoll: struct epoll userspace definiton

[Nathaniel Yazdani]

In order to facilitate the addition, modification, and/or deletion
of multiple eventpoll entries in a single system call, struct epoll
is defined to communicate the same information as struct epoll_event
plus the associated file descriptor. The new epoll() system call uses
it for both input and output.
