  generic syscalls: wire up preadv2 and pwritev2 syscalls (2016-04-23 22:38:08 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
asm-generic changes for 4.6-rc

Here is one patch to wire up the preadv/pwritev system calls in the
generic system call table, which is required for all architectures
that were merged in the last few years, including arm64.

Usually these get merged along with the syscall implementation
or one of the architecture trees, but this time that did not
happen.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Andre and Christoph both sent a version of this patch, I picked the
one I got first.
