How is it about design like this?

int fdarray__poll(struct fdarray *fda, int timeout)

with additional external array of fds to simultaneously poll() on:

int fdarray__poll(struct fdarray *fda, int timeout,
int *fds, size_t fds_size)

fds would be added to array just prior poll() call.

That wouldn't cause fdarray class extension with fd types and wouldn't change
fdarray__filter() keeping the types processing outside of fdarray and libperf.

Adoption of new fdarray__poll() signature in the tool via macro (or inline function):

#define fdarray__poll(fda, timeout) \
fdarray__poll_ext(fda, timeout, NULL, 0)
int fdarray__poll_ext(struct fdarray *fda, int timeout,
int *fds, size_t fds_size)
