Version 2.8 added ioctl() and poll(), both require
significant updates to the fuse kernel module.

IMHO ioctl() can be added with reasonable effort, it
is available in the fuse-lite library shipped with
ntfs-3g, but the kernel module part has to be created
from scratch.

poll() is more complex, I would not try unless there
is a demand from someone who is blocked and has a real
situation for testing.

What is the need ? AKAIK gvfs is related to Gnome and
is not supported on Linux any more.
