preadv, pwritev and their variants (preadv2/pwritev2) do have compat handlers defined in generic code. However, these handlers are completely specific to 32-bit, as they expect the offset to be passed in two consecutive 32-bit integers.
Since the compat handlers do not perform any other conversion, we can simply use the native handlers instead in compat64.
Note that using the 64-suffixed compat handlers (e.g. compat_sys_preadv64) would not be any better, and in fact would not work in the case of preadv2/pwritev2. Indeed, these syscalls accept another argument after the offset, but compat_sys_{preadv64v2,pwrite64v2} take just one 64-bit integer as offset. This is incompatible with the prototype of native handlers, as they take two 64-bit integers for the offset and ignore the second one.

- 64-bit tasks use mmap (not mmap2).
