Excuse me, but this statement is completely unfair. We were specifically asked
by Al and Linus to fix our char device with regards to the write/writev
inconsistency.

Which is _exactly_ what this patch series does.

Do you have a technical reason that this patch series does not fix the
write/writev issue brought up by Al?
