That's for send(), not sendfile(). The latter now works like lots of
sends() while previously it worked as single send().
Why sendfile() should be completely different compared to stream case?
Obviously send() has to be different and it is, but sendfile() is just a
bunch of sends over the pages in the cache, so let's allow it to be
multiple sends and not only single packet send.
