1. It seem this patch does not cover epoll/select and such IO muxing APIs?
We are thinking about how to implement epoll support as one of the next
steps.
What benchmarks are you using to test poll/select/epoll?

I raised this issue back at Plumbers and I thought Jesse said poll() was
covered. It's likely to be a bit of a toy without that. Also, UDP?
The current patchset covers poll/select for UDP.
Adding poll/select for TCP should be simple, I will try to include it in
the next version.
Epoll should see a gain from the above in the case where all the polled
file descriptors are associated to the same device queue.
A fuller implementation, in the epoll itself would be needed to cover
multiple queues/devices.
