What tree is that against?  Because in mainline your #5 sure as hell
won't apply...

There uio.h has
enum iter_type {
        /* iter types */
        ITER_IOVEC,
        ITER_KVEC,
        ITER_BVEC,
        ITER_PIPE,
        ITER_XARRAY,
        ITER_DISCARD,
};

and your series assumes

enum iter_type {
        /* iter types */
        ITER_IOVEC = 4,
        ITER_KVEC = 8,
        ITER_BVEC = 16,
        ITER_PIPE = 32,
        ITER_DISCARD = 64,
};

What had that been tested with?
