Comment (by markoheijnen):

 Pento: Your last changes will not work since use_mysqli is a private
 property. Also the patch is not backwards compatible when people use
 socket connections and it's not the default one in php.ini. See
 https://github.com/markoheijnen/wp-db-
 driver/commit/ac7700d4eb20d05dd91edf0ead63727153bb7e12.

 I still am curious why you used mysqli_real_connect.
