They're definitely there, just look in the Linux kernel source. If you
don't see them mentioned, that's a lack in (manpage) documentation
in those distributions. Which doesn't surprise me much, but that's
another subject..

You're right though, pread and pwrite can be directly linked to their NetBSD
kernel parts.
