Bug#326564: manpages-dev: readv(3)/writev(3) description is confusing

Attached two patches, don't know which one is better. Salut Maxime, I'm the upstream man-pages maintainer (i.e., I'm not part of Debian). I guess that readv.3 is something that Debian supplies extra to the man-pages set. In my set, readv is actually in Section 2 (i.e., readv.2), and does not have this error. The version Debian currently ships as readv.3 is actually the upstream readv.3 as it was present until 1.48, as also the infodrom cvs status suggests. readv.2 appears to be an updated version of this old readv.3, so I guess this bug can be fixed by simply dropping readv.3 and writev.3 from the diff.gz.
