Looks all good to me, just two small things I noticed that you can
address before sending the new series:

* The div_u64_rem() in ep_timeout_to_timespec() looks wrong, as
  you are actually dividing a 'long' that does not need it.

* In "epoll: wire up syscall epoll_pwait2", the alpha syscall has the
wrong number, it
   should be 110 higher than the others, not 109.

Right, that's what I meant. If it causes too much churn, don't worry
about it it.
