Subject: epoll handling in the alpha port

the alpha linux port differs from all others when it comes to the epoll 
functions in that it uses '__NR_sys_epoll_XXX' instead of '__NR_epoll_XXX' in 
the asm/unistd.h header ... the trouble with this is that glibc maps the 
function name directly to an __NR_ define, so when it maps 
like 'epoll_create', it expects '__NR_epoll_create' (which it gets with all 
other architectures)

is there some obvious thing i'm missing here ?  or is the attached patch OK ?
