I don't much like this as a design, as it is two completely different
APIs shoved into one facade that is easy to misunderstand and misuse.
fds, nfds, and other flags values are all silently ignored in the first
branch. offset is silently ignored in the second branch. In fact there's
no functional benefit to the second branch at all, over calling the
existing apis.
I think that there should be qio_channel_{pwritev,preadv}_all
methods that take the 'flags' parameter.
