why don't we add a configure test that executes code to see if we get ENOSYS?

Hi

yesterday I made pvfs2 use epoll(), when configure detects support for
it, the default.   That works out well for 2.6 systems, but less well
on 2.4 (in particular, Jazz and Pete's OSC clusters) where the
configure-time test finds epoll support, but at runtime we get
"epoll_create(): Function not Implemented".
So i'm reverting my changes, and adding this note for posterity:  we
probably won't be able to make --enable-epoll the default as long as
we have linux-2.4 users.
