I really don't see why __find_first_bit() is better than "scan the fd array".
They both seem like O(N) operations. You might be dividing the tests by 32 (or
64) but in a busy server with 3000 open sockets, what you really want is no
scanning at all.

Anyway, your problem is already solved. You should check epoll:

It's been in the kernel for a while, now (with CONFIG_EPOLL=y).
