I'll wait for the libc fix to go in before applying this to ports; in 
general I'd like to keep ports headers as similar to the libc versions as 
possible.  (Properly there should be a bits/timerfd.h header for the 
architecture-specific constant values with there being only one copy of 
the rest of the header, but the libc maintainers rejected implementing 
epoll.h, eventfd.h, inotify.h, signalfd.h and timerfd.h that way.)
