The waitqueue is definitely the way I'd prefer. So, I used the function 
do_select() (which is called by sys_select() to do the real work) as a 
template and wiped the user-mode-file-descriptor-stuff out of it. But now 
the problem is, that I need a (struct file*) to do the poll(..)-call and a 
"kernel socket" returned by sock_create() isn't attached to a file 
(sock->file == NULL). So what now?

Thanks in advance
