Oops... I missed this point... I'm going to fix this in the next version of the patch, but first I will wait a bit more 
for other comments/issues. The mapped FD is pollable (and indeed the poll syscall is used on it in same patch, to 
implement the read timeout).

Yes, they can be used. The USB capture use a character device which implement the poll interface.
