Also a minor issue - epoll_ctl doesn't check if the fd in events.data.fd

(due to programmer error), epoll_wait will return an event with the
incorrect events.data.fd specified to epoll_ctl().
This is expected behavior. events.data is a union. It is not possible or
desireable to test data.fd in epoll_ctl() because it would break /many/
users of epoll who use the 32 or 64 bit unsigned field or pointer instead
of fd.
Thanks,
