Not for Dave's series, but I've always dreamed of having the Block/Wakeup
and related API's in WaitForSomething redefined to not be so tightly tied
to select() and its long bit-per-possible-fd bitmasks, so we could maybe
even move to poll() or something even more fancy someday.

Yes yes yes yes yes.

Yes.

There's a few drivers with block/wake handlers but they're basically not using the file descriptor mask (from a quick scan). The biggest consumer of that is actually the non-SIGIO input path. xfree86's GeneralHandler API is what that ought to look like, at DIX level.
