[PATCH] splice: add optional input and output offsets

Browse source 
add optional input and output offsets to sys_splice(), for seekable file
descriptors:

 asmlinkage long sys_splice(int fd_in, loff_t __user *off_in,
                            int fd_out, loff_t __user *off_out,
                            size_t len, unsigned int flags);

semantics are straightforward: f_pos will be updated with the offset
provided by user-space, before the splice transfer is about to begin.
Providing a NULL offset pointer means the existing f_pos will be used
(and updated in situ).  Providing an offset for a pipe results in
-ESPIPE. Providing an invalid offset pointer results in -EFAULT.
