Hmm. I also just pulled the Ceph update that has commit 8a8d56176635
("ceph: use default file splice read callback"). I _think_ this splice
fix makes that ceph change unnecessary. But testing is always good.

Ilya? Can you double-check the current -git tree (well, what I *will*
push out soon after it has passed my build tests)?

Because I think Ceph can go back to using generic_file_splice_read again.
