Firstly, I can't see the advantage of keeping the alarm_timer stuff
around at all if we can delete it. Save, of course, that on systems
that don't have ppoll or equivalent you lose sub-millisecond timing by
deleting them.
The scenior I can figure out is if adopting timeout of poll, then when
changing the deadline, we need to invoke poll, and set the new
timeout, right?
Are you asking how I deal with modification of the timeout when the
poll is already running? If so, I use the event notifier to end the
current poll. It will then (presumably) repoll with a recalculated
timeout.
