Ryan added that one to the Wiki, so CC:ing him. And he tells me:
"
It's true, but I don't want to have to do a separate call to setup my
timerfd every time I enter the kernel to sleep.
Nor do I particularly care to have a separate fd for every maincontext.
epoll in general suffers from being _way_ too chatty about the syscalls
that you have to do.
"

Cheers
