We can work through these ideas or others...

So, unsurprisingly, I got some _really_ good results on the epoll_wait()
benchmark by removing the readywalk list altogether -- something like
4000% in some cases. It's also survived more testing, although I'm still
waiting for customer confirmation on his real workload, which helps
further test the changes (along with this patch to move the safewake
list to debug).

Could you please resend patch 1 in the series above?

Thanks,
Davidlohr
