	Hi,

I was wondering if it was reasonnable to implement the select() and poll()
system calls as kqueue()/kevent() wrappers. This would make any application
using these system calls benefit from the performance improvements of the new
kernel thread.

Do you think it's possible and that it won't cause some portability problems ?

Best regards,
Maxime Henrion
