[PATCH] splice SPLICE_F_MOVE support

[Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>]

Hi,

This applies on top of the splice #3 just posted, adding support for
moving of pages. The caller can use the SPLICE_F_MOVE flag to the splice
syscall to ask the kernel to try and move pages, if needed.

Disclaimer: this works for me, but may have vm issues that I missed.
CC'ing Nick :-)

Subject: [PATCH] splice: add support for SPLICE_F_MOVE flag

This enables the caller to migrate pages from one address space page
cache to another. In buzz word marketing, you can do zero-copy file copies!
