RFR: 8024989 (se) SelectableChannel.register throws NPE if fd >= 64k (lnx)

[Norman Maurer]

Hi there,

I'd like to port this from jdk8 to jdk7u-dev.
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8024989

The changeset here can be exported and imported directly:
hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/e92635d6834c

Thanks,
Norman

Ps: I hope I followed the rules to get it backported correctly, if not feel free to point me in the right direction
