What I am working on is a new call that can be seen as a list of epoll_ctl
operations followed by an wait, which has enriched clockid and timespec
flexibility. it will reuse existing calls' implementation, but that ideally
should be independent to most of the implementation internals, including
locking changes here.

Thanks for letting me know!
