Here's a patch for the problem with polling more than 16000 file
descriptors. The problem was that kmalloc() wouldn't let us allocate more
room than 131072 bytes at a time. I modified sys_poll() so that it will
allocation at most 131072 bytes and, if need be, loop to handle more file
descriptors using the same alloced space.
I checked it out and it ran for me. See what it does for you :-).
