Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/2] splice, net: Handle MSG_SPLICE_PAGES in AF_KCM

Here are patches to make AF_KCM handle the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES internal
sendmsg flag.  MSG_SPLICE_PAGES is an internal hint that tells the protocol
that it should splice the pages supplied if it can.  Its sendpage
implementation is then turned into a wrapper around that.

Does anyone actually use AF_KCM?  Upstream it has some issues.  It doesn't
seem able to handle a "message" longer than 113920 bytes without jamming
and doesn't handle the client termination once it is jammed.

I've pushed the patches here also:

ver #2)
 - In kcm_sendpage(), only account the amount actually copied.
 - Wrap at 80 chars.
