[erlang-questions] Improve performance of IO bounded server written in Erlang via having pollset for each scheduler and bind port to scheduler together with process

[Wei Cao]

The fix is git-pushed to patch branches, retrieved by

git fetch git://github.com/weicao/otp.git bind_port_to_scheduler
git fetch git://github.com/weicao/otp.git pollset_per_scheduler

I used git push --force, so it's better to fetch it whole again.
