Just one comment on this. Do you really need all the panic
fallback code ?

I'm currently writing a Solais ports backend for tevent
(based on the epoll backend) and I'm not planning to have
any of the panic fallback code there.

It either works or it doesn't. Having the fallback to
poll just needlessly complicates the code IMHO.
