I don't recall anything special. For SW crypto the splice is kinda moot,
because we encrypt and use the ciphertext so the plaintext pages are
likely to be freed before sendmsg() returns. For offload we wait until
the data is acked (not just sent) so any potential race window is
significantly longer. There's also the use of pfrag in the offload path.
Dunno..
