Yes, as you can see if you look at the libibverbs internals,
ibv_get_async_event() is just doing read() on a file descriptor.  So
all the standard ways of handling finding out whether the descriptor
is ready to read should work: block in read(), use poll(), epoll,
SIGIO, async IO, etc.  And using fcntl to set the descriptor to
non-blocking mode would work too.
