SubjectArtificial UIO_MAXIOV
This is the limit for the number of iovecs that can be passed to
readv()/writev()

2.0.x has it as 16

2.1.109 has it as 1024

Is there any reason to enforce a maximum at all, beside the range of
size_t?

The header files make a note that a POSIX 1003.g implementation must
support at least 16 iovecs as a maximum, but say nothing about an upper
bound.

Writing software that is definitely bumping into the limit of 16, and
seeing no point in having any limit at all,
