For targets which define __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64V2 and
__ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PWRITEV64V2,

(unsigned long fd, {const }struct iovec *iov, unsigned long vlen,
 unsigned long pos, int flags)

will be used for p{readv,writev}{64}v2.  X32 is the only such target.   The
64-bit pos and int flags are passed as 2 arguments to kernel here.  It is
incorrect to pass "pos, 0, flags" to kernel.
