QEMU currently uses select(2)-style rfds/wfds/xfds for file descriptor
event polling.  Unfortunately the underlying fd_set type and its macros
(FD_SET()) have a hardcoded maximum for file descriptors.  It is
possible to exceed this limit so we need a more scalable event polling
structure.

Poller is a growable array of GPollFDs that will allow us to use
g_poll(3) instead of select(2) in the future.

How about using a GArray instead?

g_poll(3) needs a contiguous array of GPollFD structs.  I can't see how
GArray can provide that - it seems to only work if you're using
g_array_*() accessor functions and doesn't give you a contiguous C
array.

The data member is public and points to the start of the array.  So you
can just pass array->data.
