[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 07/10] libxl: event: poller pipe optimisation



Track in userland whether the poller pipe is nonempty.  This saves us
writing many many bytes to the pipe if nothing ever reads them.

This is going to be relevant in a moment, where we are going to create
a situation where this will happen quite a lot.
