Well, that's most definitely part of my patch. Also, you cannot outright
remove splice() functionality, it's pretty important (besides people doing
funky pipe business, it can also used for stuff like "take these pages that
we just got on a socket, put them on a pipe and then ship them off to an
actual file" with minimal copying; doing stuff like sendfile() also uses
splice() internally).

So, I guess I'll be sending the v2 soon.
