I found that we already have the additional_flags field,
which was supposed to handle a similar thing for the epoll backend.

I think if we change it from uin16_t to uint64_t we can also
use it in the poll backend.

This way external backends like the samba-gtk code, doesn't need
any source code changes and no complex configure tests and ifdefs
to work with older and new versions.

I'd like to push this branch:
