SubjectRe: PATCH: Raw device IO for 2.1.131

Why not? I see current sendfile implementation can not do it, but what
is wrong with this? I think that we should extent sendfile to do such
things in future... (Is there any problem with it?)

I have patch that turns sendfile into copyfd, but linus keeps ignoring
it. Any idea why?
