You'd need to steal the eight patches before it too.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux-block.git/log/?h=for-6.4/splice

	iov_iter: Kill ITER_PIPE
	cifs: Use generic_file_splice_read()	
	splice: Do splice read from a file without using ITER_PIPE
	tty, proc, kernfs, random: Use direct_splice_read()	
	coda: Implement splice-read	
	overlayfs: Implement splice-read
	shmem: Implement splice-read	
	splice: Make do_splice_to() generic and export it
	splice: Clean up direct_splice_read() a bit
