Subject[patch] epoll_pwait for 2.6.18 ...

The attached patch implements the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the
event wait mechanism with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The
definition of epoll_pwait is:

int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents,
int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize);

The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the
latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting
for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event,
or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system
call will act exactly like epoll_wait. For the POSIX definition of
pselect, information is available here:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/select.html

This patch goes over 2.6.18 and the epoll_pwait definition depends on
the TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK bits.
