/* High-level wrapper around the "poll" system call.
 *
 * Intended usage is for the program's main loop to go about its business
 * servicing whatever events it needs to.  Then, when it runs out of immediate
 * tasks, it calls each subordinate module's "wait" function, which in turn
 * calls one (or more) of the functions poll_fd_wait(), poll_immediate_wake(),
 * and poll_timer_wait() to register to be awakened when the appropriate event
 * occurs.  Then the main loop calls poll_block(), which blocks until one of
 * the registered events happens. */

/* Schedule events to wake up the following poll_block().
 *
 * The poll_loop logs the 'where' argument to each function at "debug" level
 * when an event causes a wakeup.  Ordinarily, it is automatically filled in
 * with the location in the source of the call, and caller should therefore
 * omit it.  But, if the function you are implementing is very generic, so that
 * its location in the source would not be very helpful for debugging, you can
 * avoid the macro expansion and pass a different argument, e.g.:
 *      (poll_fd_wait)(fd, events, where);
 * See timer_wait() for an example.
