Subject[PATCH] vmsplice: relax alignement requirements for SPLICE_F_GIFT
From
Date
It seems there is no fundamental reason to limit vmsplice()
SPLICE_F_GIFT to page aligned chunks.

All helpers are prepared to cope with offsets in page.

This limitation makes vmsplice() API very impractical in the zero-copy
land.
