There is little chance the changes would get backported to 2.0, since they are
somewhat intrusive.
As for implementation issues:
1) there is no prolem doing the cond_broadcast, because of course we wouldn't
do it from a signal handler
2) using eventfd or other similar tricks is a possibility, but a large task
(the complexity here comes from the fact that the cond_wait is done at the
heart of the io-layer in the function that waits for any kind of event),
considering that we still would need an alternate implementation we would need
first to develop an additional abstraction
3) I'll try to commit my partial changes next week and maybe we can see if we
can rework the code so all the corner cases work
