You'd need to steal the eight patches before it too.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux-block.git/log/?h=for-6.4/splice

iov_iter: Kill ITER_PIPE
cifs: Use generic_file_splice_read()
splice: Do splice read from a file without using ITER_PIPE
tty, proc, kernfs, random: Use direct_splice_read()
coda: Implement splice-read
overlayfs: Implement splice-read
shmem: Implement splice-read
splice: Make do_splice_to() generic and export it
splice: Clean up direct_splice_read() a bit
