Current, doPoll copies the user struct pollfd array into a
[]syscalls.PollFD, which contains internal kdefs.FD and
waiter.EventMask types. While these are currently binary-compatible with
the Linux versions, we generally discourage copying directly to internal
types (someone may inadvertantly change kdefs.FD to uint64).
Instead, copy directly to a []linux.PollFD, which will certainly be
binary compatible. Most of syscalls/polling.go is included directly into
syscalls/linux/sys_poll.go, as it can then operate directly on
linux.PollFD. The additional syscalls.PollFD type is providing little
value.
I've also added explicit conversion functions for waiter.EventMask,
which creates the possibility of a different binary format.
