This reverts commit 1c2be25f60.
kib@ pointed out that it is perfectly fine to write at arbitrary regular
file offsets. For example, in a 4K block size character device, geom
doesn't support writing / reading 515 byte blocks. The description is
perhaps not applicable to all EINVALs returned.
The read system call will return EINVAL if the current file offset is
not a multiple of the block size. This also applies to write(2). Add an
entry for EINVAL about this error to both man pages.

EINTEGRITY was previously documented as a UFS-specific error for
mount(2). This documents EINTEGRITY as a filesystem-independent error
that may be reported by the backing store of a filesystem.
While here, document EIO as a filesystem-independent error for both
mount(2) and posix_fadvise(2). EIO was previously only documented for
UFS for mount(2).

In FreeBSD 11 and later debug.iosize_max_clamp defaults to 0, and the
maximum nbytes count for write(2) is SSIZE_MAX. Update the man page to
document this, and mention the sysctl that can be set to obtain the
previous behaviour.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

and writev() except that they take an additional offset argument and do
not change the current file position. In SAT speak:
preadv:readv::pread:read and pwritev:writev::pwrite:write.
- Try to reduce code duplication some by merging most of the old
kern_foov() and dofilefoo() functions into new dofilefoo() functions
that are called by kern_foov() and kern_pfoov(). The non-v functions
now all generate a simple uio on the stack from the passed in arguments
and then call kern_foov(). For example, read() now just builds a uio and
calls kern_readv() and pwrite() just builds a uio and calls kern_pwritev().

Stop calling system calls "function calls".
Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility".
When referring to a non-BSD implementation in
the HISTORY section, call syscall a function,
