Not really, once one thing in an applicate uses a large number FDs the
entire application is effected. If any open() can return 'very big
number' then nothing in the process is allowed to ever use select.

It is not a trivial thing to ask for

pagefault events are one thing that comes to mind. Bundling them all
together into a single ring buffer is going to be necessary. Multifds
just complicate this too
