Please look the problem at first.  Linux's "pread" API is different
with POSIX.  We don't have pread64 in Linux.  Please check.  The last
argument is 64-bit (long-long) in Linux, but GNU C library offers
POSIX API.

I think that your opinion is the Right Thing, basically (handle in
libc layer rather than in kernel).  In general.

But I wonder if you understand this problem, specifically.

The issue is calling convention of long-long.

I think that better way to solve this is implement pread with 6
arguments with dummy fourth argument, as MIPS implementation.

I mean, fix kernel, fix glibc, BOTH.
