Please don't! For the same reason as the futexes, turning this off will randombly break stuff and on a pc it won't give any benefit. I'd vote for treating this patch just like the futexes one, making sure that those who know *how* can turn epoll off, but leave it out of make config. Furthermore, I wonder if this patch is a large savings, the bulk of epoll is infrastructure, not the few syscalls.
