I made some changes and committed it. I'm not running 2.6 so I'm not 
sure if I broke it.

  - Removed count from struct io_list. Uses less memory.
  - Don't use epoll unless --with-ioloop=epoll is given. Alternative 
would be to check at runtime if epoll is supported by kernel. I'm not 
sure if it's worth the trouble..
