Only void * I'm seeing belongs to the user, (udata) perhaps you are talking of something different?
long in syscall requires wrapper in per-arch code (although that workaround _is_ there, it does not mean that broken interface should be used). poll uses millisecods - it is perfectly ok.
The kernel is there to hide those ugly implementation details from the user, so I don't care that much about a workaround being required in some cases. More important, IMHO is consistency with the POSIX system calls. I guess as long as you use usec, at least it won't be a pain to use.
