In `sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/poll.h', POLLWRNORM differs from
POLLOUT. The relevant standards (Unix98, the new X/Open Issue 6
draft) document POLLOUT as `Same value as POLLWRNORM'. Some of the
other architectures indeed have
#define POLLWRNORM POLLOUT
Does anybody know why POLLWRNORM and POLLOUT are seperate bits?
By the way, does anyone know what POLLMSG supposed to mean. I cannot
find any documentation on it, and it is never used in the Linux kernel
sources at all. Maybe we should remove it?
