/* High-level wrapper around the "poll" system call.
*
* Intended usage is for the program's main loop to go about its business
* servicing whatever events it needs to. Then, when it runs out of immediate
* tasks, it calls each subordinate module's "wait" function, which in turn
* calls one (or more) of the functions poll_fd_wait(), poll_immediate_wake(),
* and poll_timer_wait() to register to be awakened when the appropriate event
* occurs. Then the main loop calls poll_block(), which blocks until one of
* the registered events happens.
*
* There is also some support for autonomous subroutines that are executed by
* poll_block() when a file descriptor becomes ready. To prevent these
* routines from starving if events are continuously ready, the application
* should bound the amount of work it does between poll_block() calls. */
