What is your position on the timerfd/signalfd/etc patches?

Seems to me that if we were to have fancy new event-delivery machinery
like kevent then the timerfd/signalfd work is heading in the other
direction and ultimately would prove to have been unneeded?

That's my point.  I think we ultimately have to have something like
kevent and then all this *fd() work is unnecessary and just adds code
to the kernel which has to be kept around and which might hinder
further work in this area.
