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.)
