the good news is that the new structure that they've added:
struct niovec
    {
        void __user *iov_base;
        __kernel_size_t iov_len;
        __kernel_loff_t iov_off; /* NEW */
    };

allows one to do a very limited version of list I/O through the kernel. minor step in the right direction.

2.6.19-rcX (where X == 4, but could have happened earlier) removed the
readv and writev members of the file_operations struct.

I'd like to fix this before we do our next release.  Let me take a
crack at it.
