Davi Arnaut b3762bfc8d signalfd: retrieve multiple signals with one read() call
Gathering signals in bulk enables server applications to drain a signal
queue (almost full of realtime signals) more efficiently by reducing the
syscall and file look-up overhead.

Very similar to the sigtimedwait4() call described by Niels Provos, Chuck
Lever, and Stephen Tweedie in a paper entitled "Analyzing the Overload
Behavior of a Simple Web Server".  The paper lists more details and
advantages.
