Subject: On current git head webservers stopped working

Hello ,

While doing some tests with 2.6.22-git2 ( at the time head
4eb6bf6bfb580afaf1e1a1d30cba17a078530cf4 ) all my webservers stopped
working.
I can't get any file using wget or whatever else , everything hangs
after 1% forever.

I bisected this and here the result:

534f2aaa6ab07cd71164180bc958a7dcde41db11 is first bad commit
commit 534f2aaa6ab07cd71164180bc958a7dcde41db11

    sys_sendfile: switch to using ->splice_read, if available

    This patch makes sendfile prefer to use ->splice_read(), if it's
    available in the file_operations structure.

Reverting 534f2aaa6ab07cd71164180bc958a7dcde41db11 from git2 solved that
problem for me.

I've compiled current git head and the problem still exists but I cannot
revert this commit while some conflicts.
