That was the one that git-bisect flagged for me.. I think this one
had the iov_iter_init() in rds_sendmsg() itself? As I recall, this 
change was already refactoring rds_message_copy_from_user() (and was the
earliest version that was broken when I tested it)?

should it have been 'put iov_iter into msghdr'? I just wanted
to make sure some innocent user would know how far back to go,
if they wanted to not trip on this one.
