Change this because of the serious limitation of select()
imposing a limit on the range of file descriptors that can
be monitored. This is currently mentioned too late in the
documentation (in the NOTES section). The man page should
warn early and refer to poll(2) as soon as possible.

copy_file_range() is a new system call for copying ranges of data
completely in the kernel. This gives filesystems an opportunity to
implement some kind of "copy acceleration", such as reflinks or
server-side-copy (in the case of NFS).
