No problem. It is registered as handler function for the case the
entrypoint was blocked when the fd becomes readable. But, (like in
POSIX) Select_handler::select() may also return immediately with
readable fds, which should also be handled immediately. I remember
distantly that otherwise a deblocked fd ended up unhandled in some
edge cases.
