I realy don't want to be annoying by sending this patcheset over and over
again. If anyone think this patch is realy cappy, please comment what 
exectly is bad. Thank you.

Changes:
  - patch was split in two patches.
  - comments added. I think now it is clearly describe things.
  - make generic_segment_checks() inline
  - patch prepared against 2.6.20-mm3

How is tested:
 - LTP test, and other readv/writev op tests.
