Wait, please clarify, are you suggesting that POLLIN_IGNORE_EOF
and POLLRDNORM_IGNORE_EOF must be used by userland applications?
Or would it be an internal flag for the kernel so that here you'd
see something like:

filetmp.f_data = (caddr_t)ap->a_vp->v_fifoinfo->fi_readsock;
if (filetmp.f_data) {
        if (ap->a_events & ~POLLIN)
                ap->a_events |= POLLIN_IGNORE_EOF;
        /* same for POLLRDNORM */
        revents |= soo_poll(&filetmp, ap->a_events, ap->a_cred,
                        ap->a_td);
}

Or that the userland will just OR in POLLIN_IGNORE_EOF before calling
poll(2).

I'm not sure if I like the latter way of fixing things.
