Possible chances to take advantage of libuv stability

Use of libuv polling for the more hardware orientated modules is being seen.

Use is being made of libuv to detect events on a file descriptor in existing stable modules. Some of the features that libuv provide could be exposed via NAPI or use of libuv could be allowed in order to avoid complex changes to some modules.

modules looked at that support these cases

Code fragement example

void Poller::poll(int events) {
  this->events = this->events | events;
  int status = uv_poll_start(poll_handle, events, Poller::onData);
  if (0 != status) {
    ...
    return;
  }
}
