All the talk about teams, groups and APIs. Like EXPORT_SYMBOL() is
supposed to be about crossing organizational boundaries.

Seems pretty obvious to me that netdev people and authors of the
original busy polling may have guidance and advice on networking uAPIs.

Maybe thinking more open and collaborative approach leads to better
results is naive. I'm certainly not trying to mark the territory or
anything like that.

I think I was talking about the setsockopts which can be used to modify
the polling parameters. I'm not 100% sure now, it was 2 months ago.
