[patch 2/3] splice: implement default splice_read method

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Thu May 07 2009 - 09:39:02 EST


If f_op->splice_read() is not implemented, fall back to a plain read.
Use vfs_readv() to read into previously allocated pages.

This will allow splice and functions using splice, such as the loop
device, to work on all filesystems. This includes "direct_io" files
in fuse which bypass the page cache.
