Backout revision 1.56 and 1.57 of fifo_vnops.c.
Introduce a new poll op "POLLINIGNEOF" that can be used to ignore
EOF on a fifo, POLLIN/POLLRDNORM is converted to POLLINIGNEOF within
the FIFO implementation to effect the correct behavior.
This should allow one to view a fifo pretty much as a data source
rather than worry about connections coming and going.

is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
if one of the new poll types is requested; hopefully this will not break
any existing code. (This is done so that programs have a dependable
way of determining whether a filesystem supports the extended poll types
or not.)
The new poll types added are:
POLLWRITE - file contents may have been modified
POLLNLINK - file was linked, unlinked, or renamed
POLLATTRIB - file's attributes may have been changed
POLLEXTEND - file was extended
Note that the internal operation of poll() means that it is impossible
for two processes to reliably poll for the same event (this could
be fixed but may not be worth it), so it is not possible to rewrite
`tail -f' to use poll at this time.
