    [ARM] 5456/1: add sys_preadv and sys_pwritev · eb8f3142

    Kernel 2.6.30-rc1 added sys_preadv and sys_pwritev to most archs
    but not ARM, resulting in
    
    <stdin>:1421:2: warning: #warning syscall preadv not implemented
    <stdin>:1425:2: warning: #warning syscall pwritev not implemented
    
    This patch adds sys_preadv and sys_pwritev to ARM.
    
    These syscalls simply take five long-sized parameters, so they
    should have no calling-convention/ABI issues in the kernel.
    
    Tested on armv5tel eabi using a preadv/pwritev test program posted
    on linuxppc-dev earlier this month.
    
    It would be nice to get this into the kernel before 2.6.30 final,
    so that glibc's kernel version feature test for these syscalls
    doesn't have to special-case ARM.
