This patch series:
Implement the preadv() and pwritev() syscalls. *BSD has this syscall for
quite some time.
Test code:
#if 0
set -x
gcc -Wall -O2 -o preadv $0
exit 0
#endif
/*
* preadv demo / test
*
* (c) 2008 Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>
*
* build with "sh $thisfile"
*/

This patch:
Factor out some code from compat_sys_readv() which can be shared with the
upcoming compat_sys_preadv().
