Please read up on utilizing interrupts in the Linux kernel:
http://tldp.org/LDP/tlk/dd/interrupts.html
http://lwn.net/Articles/127698/
I don't believe the patch to get interrupts in userspace is included.
Without having time to read about it (because you keep pushing for a
quick answer), I believe all that really happens is that interrupts
get translated into events, though there might be some mechanism for
turning them into signals.
I suspect what all you really want is to read the event in a thread
(or even just a single threaded process). When you read the event,
the kernel will block and run other threads (and other processes)
until the event occurs (the key is pressed).

evtest is a great example of how to wait on and use events from a
process (application).

via the SYSFS interface. Similarly, the LEDs use up the GPIO pins, so
you wouldn't be able to export their SYSFS interface either.
