Paton, we normally review the diffs between kernel versions but noticing 
us via libc-alpha is great.

So, you ask to get this added to <sys/epoll.h>?

#define EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE 4

Once 3.7 is out and contains it, we will add it. A friendly reminder 
once the patch is in would be nice so that we don't miss it during the 
review.

thanks,
Andreas
