I take this back It looks like iter_file_splice_write() is perfectly usable
it relies on the source (Not us for write) being a page then kmaps and
calls one of f_op->write(file,..) or new_sync_write(file, ...) so
it looks like it all should work.

So the only bad thing is the comment it looks like splice should just
work also for dax.

Will be testing exact same thing for ext4 and report

Thanks
