Subject: [PATCH] timeval: Don't require signals for time_alarm().

Before this patch, time_alarm() used the SIGALRM handler to notify
the poll loop that it should exit the program.  Instead, this patch
simply implements time_alarm() directly in the pool loop.  This
significantly simplifies the code, while removing a call to
timer_create() which is not currently supported on ESX.
