    Not lost, but not delivered. So you need your policy agent to send
    SIGCONT when you receive any wakeup event, which either means proxying
    all your network traffic through your policy agent or having some
    mechanism for alerting the policy agent whenever you leave the deep idle
    state.

    Doesn't help - I may be hit by the signal between the poll() unblocking
    and me having the opportunity to call sigmask().
