7002957: (fc) FileChannel.transferTo fails to load libsendfile on Solaris 64-bit

[Chris Hegarty]

If I understand the changes correctly, you explicitly state the xxx64 
version of the function (and type) for the Solaris 32 bit compilation, 
but the regular sendfilev for _LP64. Is this a minor optimization? I 
think it would be simpler to just use sendfilev64 for both. Or would 
this be incorrect?
