Is that similar to what user-mode linux does? I mean the principle.

You still intersect *each* syscall, why not to do the same for
epoll_wait()
and replace events with correct value? Seems you do something similar
already
in a vu_wrap_poll.c: wo_epoll_wait(), right?

Don't get me wrong, I really want to understand whether everything
really
looks so bad without proposed change. It seems not, because the whole
principle
is based on intersection of each syscall, thus one more one less - it
does not
become more clean and especially does not look like a generic purpose
solution,
which you seek. I may be wrong.
