Only void * I'm seeing belongs to the user, (udata) perhaps you are

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.
