2007-10-10	r20539: - split the common timer related events code into events_timed.c	Andrew Tridgell	1	-138/+121
	- make it easier to plug in a new events backend - add simpler 'select' and 'epoll' backends This is part of the effort to add good AIO support. The events_aio.c backend is done, but sometimes dies with a SEGV, which is why it isn't enabled yet. (This used to be commit 934f18283dbc7958944931a93a854526bcd54884)

	epoll. It is not linked in anywhere yet - I'm committing it in case anyone else wants to have a look at it. The concept is quite strange really, but it seems to be the only way that Linux 2.6.x can currently use a unified event model allowing for AIO events and socket events to be waited for by a single unified event wait function. You setup a epoll system, then setup a weird aio event that points at the epoll system, then use io_getevents() to actually do the waiting. I'm hoping that kevents or a proper integration of epoll will allow us to avoid ths rather hackish scheme, but meanwhile this is the only path to proper AIO in Samba on Linux (without a horrible signals mess) (NOTE: this code requires some kernel patches to work at the moment) (This used to be commit 195051fdee341e8d8cb76e5c91dcc0f6c246a870)
