concat_writev() is far too complicated.  I have a patch somewhere that
adds a generic writev() function to every device.  Once that is in,
your patch should get a respin and be much simpler.

I didn't closely look at the rest of it but suspect similar things.
Having complicated code in the kernel should not result in adding more
complicated code, but in someone making the existing code simple. ;)
