I don't fully understand the parameters. I will have to carefully read 
the documentation of poll() and select().

Anyway, when the user program (such as vim) asks:
"Is there any character present on stdin? No wait, please."
and there is no pending character,
then Fpoll() should return immediately and quickly.

The problem is very visible in vim, I wonder which other programs could 
be affected by similar slowness...
It would be a great surprise if the future fix could boost the whole kernel.
