Next patch attached based on our common ideas :) We can do some more
cleanup afterwards. I want to investigate the effect of using a normal
timer instead of hooking into hardclock, if it doesn't cost much we could
make polling support active by default. It wouldn't give any penalties
when not active beside some space.
