Patch series overview:

  1. Add New system call mq_recvmmsg(), mq_sendmmsg() and handler implementation.
  2. Add system call number in all most common architectures.
  3. Add entries in performance tools.
  4. Prepared Documentation and test.


change since v2:
 - iovec is introduced for arguments.
 - since v2 does not contain batch operation and I introduced batch support now
    in recv or peek, due to that I added one more system call to support 
    batch during send as well otherwise i don't see any benefites of having
    batching in consumer side only.

 - the underlying tree structure used to store messages is augmented by introducing
   two additional fields on each node. This enables logarithmic-time complexity for
   peek operations and improves the efficiency of other tree traversals.

 - some flaws in compat entry path fixed
 - arguments mismatch in asmlinkages fixed
 - copy_msg helper updated to be more safe for len arguments

 - styles and formating improved
 - test updated
 - documentation is updated appropriately.

  Thanks for reviewing.
