Is the right order ? 

It seems you wrote the patch, not Alexander or Jesse ?

They might Ack it eventually.

Instead of "bool set" you could use "unsigned int lls_bit"

and avoid conditional :

wait->_key |= lls_bit;

(you do not need to clear the bit in wait->_key, its already cleared in
wait_key_set())

Alternatively, add a parameter to wait_key_set(), it will be cleaner

Well, why enforce POLL_LL ? 

Sure we do this for select() as the API doesn't allow us to add the LL
flag, but poll() can do that.

An application might set POLL_LL flag only on selected fds.

I understand you want nice benchmarks for existing applications,
but I still think that globally enable/disable LLS for the whole host
is not a good thing.

POLL_LL wont be a win once we are over committing cpus (too many sockets
to poll)
