splice stuff. There are conflicts in lustre; proposed resolution is in #merge-candidate (same as it is in linux-next). There's a bunch of branches this cycle, both mine and from other folks and I'd rather send pull requests separately. This one is the conversion of ->splice_read() to ITER_PIPE iov_iter (and introduction of such). Gets rid of a lot of code in fs/splice.c and elsewhere; there will be followups, but these are for the next cycle... Some pipe/splice-related cleanups from Miklos in the same branch as well.
