 *
 * The scif_register() function opens a window, a range of whole pages of the
 * registered address space of the endpoint epd, starting at offset po and
 * continuing for len bytes. The value of po, further described below, is a
 * function of the parameters offset and len, and the value of map_flags. Each
 * page of the window represents the physical memory page which backs the
 * corresponding page of the range of virtual address pages starting at addr
 * and continuing for len bytes. addr and len are constrained to be multiples
 * of the page size. A successful scif_register() call returns po.
 *
 * When SCIF_MAP_FIXED is set in the map_flags argument, po will be offset
 * exactly, and offset is constrained to be a multiple of the page size. The
 * mapping established by scif_register() will not replace any existing
 * registration; an error is returned if any page within the range [offset,
 * offset + len - 1] intersects an existing window.
 *
 * When SCIF_MAP_FIXED is not set, the implementation uses offset in an
 * implementation-defined manner to arrive at po. The po value so chosen will
 * be an area of the registered address space that the implementation deems
 * suitable for a mapping of len bytes. An offset value of 0 is interpreted as
 * granting the implementation complete freedom in selecting po, subject to
 * constraints described below. A non-zero value of offset is taken to be a
 * suggestion of an offset near which the mapping should be placed. When the
 * implementation selects a value for po, it does not replace any extant
 * window. In all cases, po will be a multiple of the page size.
 *
 * The physical pages which are so represented by a window are available for
 * access in calls to mmap(), scif_readfrom(), scif_writeto(),
 * scif_vreadfrom(), and scif_vwriteto(). While a window is registered, the
 * physical pages represented by the window will not be reused by the memory
 * subsystem for any other purpose. Note that the same physical page may be
 * represented by multiple windows.
 *
 * Subsequent operations which change the memory pages to which virtual
 * addresses are mapped (such as mmap(), munmap()) have no effect on

 *
 * If the process will fork(), it is recommended that the registered

 * window. In all cases, po will be a multiple of the page size.

 * scif_get_pages() returns the addresses of the physical pages represented by

 * pages. The nr_pages component of scif_range is the length of the array. The
 * prot_flags component of scif_range holds the protection flag value passed
 * when the pages were registered.

 * scif_poll() - Wait for some event on an endpoint
 * @epds:       Array of endpoint descriptors
 * @nepds:      Length of epds
 * @timeout:    Upper limit on time for which scif_poll() will block
 *
 * scif_poll() waits for one of a set of endpoints to become ready to perform
 * an I/O operation.
 *
 * The epds argument specifies the endpoint descriptors to be examined and the
 * events of interest for each endpoint descriptor. epds is a pointer to an
 * array with one member for each open endpoint descriptor of interest.
 *
 * The number of items in the epds array is specified in nepds. The epd field
 * of scif_pollepd is an endpoint descriptor of an open endpoint. The field
 * events is a bitmask specifying the events which the application is
 * interested in. The field revents is an output parameter, filled by the
 * kernel with the events that actually occurred. The bits returned in revents
 * can include any of those specified in events, or one of the values EPOLLERR,
 * EPOLLHUP, or EPOLLNVAL. (These three bits are meaningless in the events
 * field, and will be set in the revents field whenever the corresponding
 * condition is true.)
 *
 * If none of the events requested (and no error) has occurred for any of the
 * endpoint descriptors, then scif_poll() blocks until one of the events occurs.
 *
 * The timeout argument specifies an upper limit on the time for which
 * scif_poll() will block, in milliseconds. Specifying a negative value in
 * timeout means an infinite timeout.
 *
 * The following bits may be set in events and returned in revents.
 * EPOLLIN - Data may be received without blocking. For a connected
 * endpoint, this means that scif_recv() may be called without blocking. For a
 * listening endpoint, this means that scif_accept() may be called without
 * blocking.
 * EPOLLOUT - Data may be sent without blocking. For a connected endpoint, this
 * means that scif_send() may be called without blocking. EPOLLOUT may also be
 * used to block waiting for a non-blocking connect to complete. This bit value
 * has no meaning for a listening endpoint and is ignored if specified.
 *
 * The following bits are only returned in revents, and are ignored if set in
 * events.
 * EPOLLERR - An error occurred on the endpoint
 * EPOLLHUP - The connection to the peer endpoint was disconnected
 * EPOLLNVAL - The specified endpoint descriptor is invalid.
 *
 * Return:
 * Upon successful completion, scif_poll() returns a non-negative value. A
 * positive value indicates the total number of endpoint descriptors that have
 * been selected (that is, endpoint descriptors for which the revents member is
 * non-zero). A value of 0 indicates that the call timed out and no endpoint
 * descriptors have been selected. Otherwise in user mode -1 is returned and
 * errno is set to indicate the error; in kernel mode the negative of one of
 * the following errors is returned.
 *
 * Errors:
 * EINTR - A signal occurred before any requested event
 * EINVAL - The nepds argument is greater than {OPEN_MAX}
 * ENOMEM - There was no space to allocate file descriptor tables
