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.
