Thanks, Alan, for these improvements.
I'm now looking into the FIXME comments you added.

Do you know of an example line discipline that has got this right?
My model for this code was drivers/net/ppp_async.c but now it seems
that this was not as exemplary as I had hoped.

Looking around, I see that many LDs don't even provide a poll method.
So I'm thinking of just dropping this one. Would that be ok?
