A patch to use 'poll' instead of 'select' where it's available would be
a
very good idea. Using 'select' to check readiness of a single descriptor
that you just opened is about the worst-case scenario for 'select' (because
it has to scan through all the unset bits on each set). Using 'poll' is far
more efficient for a single descriptor since no scanning is needed.
