IIRC, you mentioned I should ignore these because you had another
series coming? Let me know if that's not what you said.

Also, I looked at the splice code wrt. the buffer percentage. The
splice code will return if either the file descriptor has O_NONBLOCK or
the splice command has SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK set.

Or do you think that we need to do something in case the flag changes?
To make everything non-block, we need to send a single to the code,
which should cause the code to start again.

Once the trace_fd is set to O_NONBLOCK the splice fd should return
immediately when there's nothing it can read left.
