The set libwayland's event loop is made of, in kernel/sys/sys_event.c:
four kinds of descriptor with no inode, FD_EVENT, that read() drains
and poll() reports on. They were table entries returning ENOSYS that
read as done.
epoll registers (descriptor, file) pairs, so a closed descriptor
leaves the set; level- and edge-triggered, EPOLLONESHOT. Waiting is
poll()'s, a tick at a time. The old eventfd and signalfd numbers (284,
282) were aliased to the new calls and read flags from a garbage
register; they are their own entries now, with epoll_create and
epoll_pwait.
cmd/evtest checks each, then all four in one set. The plans are
brought up to date: everything Wayland was waiting on is built except
setsockopt.

Sixty-five headers sat side by side in include/, so `#include "irq.h"`
said nothing about where irq.h was or what it belonged to, and errno.h,
stat.h and fcntl.h at the top shadowed the system's for any host tool
built with -I./include. They are in folders now -- arch/ core/ fs/
dev/ gfx/ net/ uapi/ (and ldls/ for the Linux driver layer) -- and
every include names the folder, as Linux's do: "core/proc.h".
Done mechanically and checked the hard way: the kernel built from this
tree disassembles identically to the one built from the tree before
it. The full image boots, and userland is the same set of programs.
Paths in docs and comments follow; docs/guides/layout.md has a table
of what is where, and tools/fix-includes.py rewrites old-style
includes from the folders in the tree, for code written before this.
