Does FreeBSD have sendmmsg or recvmmsg system calls?

Please find below.

This implementation has some strangeness, like NOASM and PSEUDO in makefile,
which I cannot find a purpose for.

Big issue with the implementation is the interposing stuff, why do you
need it at all ?  Is it to correctly handle cancellation, to not fall
into sleepable syscall when previous loop step was cancelled ?

If yes, you _can_ use pthread_testcancel(3) etc in libc.  Libc provides
stubs for them with trivial implementation, which is reset to the real
one if libthr is loaded.  Then you can simplify your patch significantly,
avoiding the need for interposing and writing the loops both in libc and
libthr.

BTW, do you have tests for the cancellation of the new functions ?

Again, the patch lacks man page updates.
