no need for multiple epoll fds

[whyrusleeping]

epoll_ctl_add is safe to call in a different thread, even while another thread (goroutine) is in epoll_wait. Knowing this, we can have a single 'poller' instance that communicates with a master loop. I can work on this if you'd like, although you might be more familiar with the code, let me know.

From that man page I'm not sure epoll can add arbitrary numbers of fds to one epoll fd. Maybe test it with 100k?
