Pulled.

And I think some of the alpha side could be cleaned up a bit further,
in that I think this ends up making the osf_readv/writev system calls
be the exact same as the standard readv/writev, since the legacy OSF/1
hackery is now gone with CONFIG_OSF4_COMPAT being a thing of the past.

But it's not a big deal - cc'ing linux-alpha just in case somebody
feels inspired.
