I'm adding 'force' flagged system calls to the kernel now to allow
    blocking I/O or non-blocking I/O to be forced.

    pread and pwrite happened to already have a pad argument that libc
    always passes as 0, so no new system call will be required there. 
    I am going to convert that argument to a flags argument and add
    O_F* 'force' defines.

    preadv and pwritev will need new system calls.

    I am adding similar MSG_F* 'force' flags for sendmsg and recvmsg.  

    If I don't get this committed tonight I'll get it committed tomorrow.
    Everything is straightforward through the socket NBIO code needs a bit
    of rewriting.
