Description
timerfd APIs are only available as SYS_* calls
As Android is linux, these should be available too.
Should they be added?
List of APIs:
timerfd_createtimerfd_settimetimerfd_gettime
That's and various definitions like TFD_NONBLOCK
Reference http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/timerfd_create.2.html

Research direction
Start by locating the existing SYS_* timerfd bindings for the aarch64-linux-android and arm-linux-androideabi targets, then compare their availability with the timerfd_create, timerfd_settime, and timerfd_gettime reference. Done means those APIs and definitions such as TFD_NONBLOCK are exposed for both Android targets.
