From 2.6.30, /proc/mounts and various /sys files will
probably always returns 'readable' to select, so we will need
to wait on POLLPRI to get the 'new data is available' signal.
When using select, this corresponds to an 'exception', so
adjust calls to select accordingly.
In one case we sometimes wait on a socket and sometime on
/proc/mounts, so we need to test which.

Allow mdmon to start while /var/run/mdadm is readonly. Later a SIGHUP
can trigger mdmon to drop its pid and socket once /var/run/mdadm is
writable. Of course one needs the pid to send a HUP, that can be stored
in a distribution specific rw-init directory... For now, rely on a
killall -HUP mdmon to get the files dumped.

When running with SELinux enabled and using mdadm to monitor devices,
attempts to send emails to an admin will be blocked because mdadm is
holding open /proc/mdstat without setting the FD_CLOEXEC flag. As a
result, sendmail has an open descriptor to /proc/mdstat after the
popen() call, which SELinux decides isn't really any of sendmail's
business and so sendmail gets denied.
