    Looking good to me, Davide. I think you've nailed everything there
    except:

    - Do we want to introduce new list macros, or change epoll a little
    to use the existing list manipulators (I think the latter)

    - Do we keep the vmalloc, replace it with alloc_pages() or go all the
    way and remove the hash table?

    Seems that you're leaning toward the final option but either way,
    it would be best to get that vmalloc out of there - it's basically
    hit-or-miss for anything larger than a single page - for a really
    robust implementation it is best to avoid its use.
