Dou you mean a new helper?

You can't imagine how much time I spent trying to make the comments more
clear but keep them concise ;) More than writing the test for io_uring.

What exactly do you think the comment should say? I agree with anything in
advance. I thought that "edge-triggered" provides enough info, but I would
be happy to improve the docs.

And the helper's name? pipe_enable_poll_et() ?

Thanks,

Oleg.
