I feel lame asking this, but can anyone give me a pointer on exactly how
this patch is enabled?  I'm running Red Hat's 2.4.20-20.9 kernel, but
couldn't find any epoll patches that would successfully apply to it, so
I went and grabbed 2.4.21 from kernel.org and that patched cleanly.  Now
I can't figure out how to enable it in xconfig.  One page said I should
see it under "Character Devices" but I don't see anything that sounds
remotely likely under there.  Is there no additional configuration
needed with this patch?  Any hints?
