[issue12976] select module: only use EVFILT_TIMER if available (kqueue backend)

Charles-François Natali <neologix at free.fr> added the comment:

Since this patch alone won't be enough to support MirBSD (and is required only for MirBSD), I suggest you to post the complete patch, and rename this issue "add support for MirBSD platform", or something along those lines.
That way, we can consider this as a feature request, and apply it in one chunk, if accepted.
However, I think that the current consensus is somewhat hostile to adding support for so-called "exotic platforms", so I can't guarantee this will be included (posting the whole patch will certainly help making a decision).
I'm adding Martin to the noisy list, he'll probably give you more insight on this.
