[Xen-devel] [PATCH V3] Switch from select() to poll() in xenconsoled's IO loop.



In Linux select() typically supports up to 1024 file descriptors. This can be
a problem when user tries to boot up many guests. Switching to poll() has
minimum impact on existing code and has better scalibility.

Tracking arrays are dynamically allocated / reallocated. If the tracking
arrays fail to expand, we just ignore the incoming fd.

Change from V2:
  * remove unnecessary malloc in initialize_pollfd_arrays
  * use ROUND_UP to get new size of arrays
