Comment (by chris_kohlhoff):

 If you are using the HTTP Server 2 design (io_service-per-CPU) then there
 is no contended synchronization in asio with respect to /dev/poll. Each
 io_service would have its own /dev/poll descriptor. The sub-linear scaling
 might be due to something else.

 Realistically, support for event ports would need to be sponsored/funded.
 Please let me know if you are interested in pursuing that option.
