A late answer:

What makes you think select is still used? driver_select will use select,
poll or any kernel poll variant depending on configuration and if kernel
poll is turn on or not. In case of kernel poll, driver_select may in some
cases fall back to use select or poll for individual file descriptors if the
OS does not support kernel poll for that device.
