--- Comment #1 from David Smith <dsmith at redhat dot com> ---
While working on this one, I've discovered a kernel bug - the syscalls were
wired up incorrectly in the x86_64 syscall table. In compat mode, the syscalls
are still wired up to sys_preadv2/sys_pwritev2 instead of
compat_sys_preadv2/compat_sys_pwritev2.

I've sent email to Christoph Hellwig, the author of the patch that added the
syscalls to the x86_64 syscall table. He's agreed that it doesn't look right,
and we're working through the problem.
