Please read up on utilizing interrupts in the Linux kernel:
http://tldp.org/LDP/tlk/dd/interrupts.html

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).

If the GPIO is consumed by a kernel driver, then it can't be exposed
via the SYSFS interface. Similarly, the LEDs use up the GPIO pins, so
you wouldn't be able to export their SYSFS interface either.

Please read this part ^^^^^^^^
