  Modified:    sys/kern  sys_generic.c
  Log:
  Improved select():
  - avoid malloc() if the number of fds is small.
  - pack the bits better so that `small' is quite large.
  - don't waste time generating zero bits for null fd_set pointers or
    scanning these bits.
  
  Possibly improved select():
  - free malloc()ed storage before returning.  This is simpler and I
    think huge select()s aren't worth optimizing since they are rare,
    relative gain would be small and there would be tiny costs for all
    selects().
