I think a pretty good proposal has gone around the list. Graned, this
is one big list. Have the following methods in the core Unix VM:
registerPollFunction(function)
unregisterPol/Function(function)
watchFD(fd, flags, handler)
stopWatchingFD(fd)
Then, the core Unix ioWait call (whatever its name is) should call all
the polling functions followed by select-ing on the registered FD's.
For any fd's where something interesting happens, call the relevant
handler.
