Allow userspace to use the EPOLLPRI/POLLPRI flag to indicate an urgent wait (as opposed to a "housekeeping" wait to know when to cleanup after some work has completed). Usermode components of GPU driver stacks often poll() on fence fd's to know when it is safe to do things like free or reuse a buffer, but they can also poll() on a fence fd when waiting to read back results from the GPU. The EPOLLPRI/POLLPRI flag lets the kernel differentiate these two cases.
