If you want to wire up pselect6 and ppoll you need to add full
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK support. With your patches it compiles but is broken.
Search the git commits for "TIF_RESTORE_MASK" and see how this was
implemented on other architectures.
Also you should put the alpha maintainers on cc when sending such patches.
