Subject: [PATCH v2] Add preadv and pwritev system calls.
This patch adds preadv and pwritev system calls. These syscalls are a
pretty straightforward combination of pread and readv (same for write).
They are quite useful for doing vectored I/O in threaded applications.
Using lseek+readv instead opens race windows you'll have to plug with
locking.
Other systems have such system calls too, for example NetBSD, check
here: http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/preadv.2.html
The patch sports the actual system call implementation and the windup in
the x86 system call tables. Other archs are TBD.
