They are all events.
You can only wait on either events or sockets (using select).
There is a socket api to signal an event when data arrives (etc).
There is also the insane (these days) restriction of 64 events.

Or hook something up so that pollwakeup can kick a futex as well
as waking up poll() and adding an event to epoll().
