It could be fitted directly into ubuf_info, but that doesn't feel
right. It should be hot, so does it even matter? On the bright side,
with the patch I'll also ->sg_from_iter from msghdr into it, so it
doesn't have to be in the generic path.
I think it's the right approach, but if you have a strong opinion
I can fit it as a new field in ubuf_info.
