As I have written in previous discussions of this subject, waiting for multiple events can be implemented on top of the existing FUTEX syscalls. For performance, you might want to add a very simple to implement WAKE-multiple (just to avoid multiple syscalls, one for each WAKE), but you don't need WAIT-multiple, which would place an unnecessary burden on the kernel in the absence of contention (as partly one of the kernel engineers has pointed out.).

Although I don't know much about memory mappings, I'm sure any missing low-level functionality could be added by low-level syscalls of much more general use than just the imitiation of Windows functions.
