+/* Sysfs attribute files are pollable. The idea is that you read
+ * the content and then you use 'poll' or 'select' to wait for
+ * the content to change. When the content changes (assuming the
+ * manager for the kobject supports notification), poll will
+ * return POLLERR|POLLPRI, and select will return the fd whether
+ * it is waiting for read, write, or exceptions.
+ * Once poll/select indicates that the value has changed, you
+ * need to close and re-open the file, as simply seeking and reading
+ * again will not get new data, or reset the state of 'poll'.
+ * Reminder: this only works for attributes which actively support
+ * it, and it is not possible to test an attribute from userspace
+ * to see if it supports poll (Nether 'poll' or 'select' return
+ * an appropriate error code). When in doubt, set a suitable timeout value.
