Apart from this patches removing some implicit assumptions, which we had problems with before, and making code cleaner, they and especially 6-7 are also needed to push for synchronisation optimisations later, lile [1] or removing spinlocking with SINGLE_ISSUER. The downside is that we add additional lock/unlock into eventfd path, but I don't think we care about it. The series also exposes a minor issue with cancellations, which for some reason calls io_kill_timeouts() and io_poll_remove_all() too many times on task exit. That makes poll-cancel to timeout on sigalarm, though usually is fine if given 3-5 sec instead of 1. We'll investigate it later.
