46		/** Linux scheduler using epoll for I/O multiplexing.
47
48		This scheduler implements the scheduler interface using Linux epoll
49		for efficient I/O event notification. It uses a single reactor model
50		where one thread runs epoll_wait while other threads
51		wait on a condition variable for handler work. This design provides:
52
53		- Handler parallelism: N posted handlers can execute on N threads
54		- No thundering herd: condition_variable wakes exactly one thread
55		- IOCP parity: Behavior matches Windows I/O completion port semantics
56
57		When threads call run(), they first try to execute queued handlers.
58		If the queue is empty and no reactor is running, one thread becomes
59		the reactor and runs epoll_wait. Other threads wait on a condition
60		variable until handlers are available.

63		All public member functions are thread-safe.
