    This is the io_getevents equivalent of ppoll/pselect and allows to
    properly mix signals and aio completions (especially with IOCB_CMD_POLL)
    and atomically executes the following sequence:
    
    	sigset_t origmask;
    
    	pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, &sigmask, &origmask);
    	ret = io_getevents(ctx, min_nr, nr, events, timeout);
    	pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, &origmask, NULL);
    
    Note that unlike many other signal related calls we do not pass a sigmask
    size, as that would get us to 7 arguments, which aren't easily supported
    by the syscall infrastructure.  It seems a lot less painful to just add a
    new syscall variant in the unlikely case we're going to increase the
    sigset size.
