[PATCH] epoll with selectable ET/LT behaviour ...
This patch adds selectable EdgeTriggered/LevelTriggered behaviour to epoll. It has been widely discussed on lkml about two weeks ago and everyone very welcome the change. It has been even more widely discussed through private emails with application developers, that do not feel confortable posting on lkml. The great value of the patch is that selecting the LT behaviour, applications using poll/select can be ported very easily to epoll, making existing apps to benefit from epoll scalability with very short ETA's. The API remains the same with the addition of a EPOLLET event flag that sets the LT/ET behaviour for that fd.
