IDK. Eric added MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST 11 years ago, to work around
this exact problem. Your refactoring happens to break it and what
you're saying sounds to me more or less like "MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST
is unnecessary, it's user's fault".

A bit unconvincing. Maybe Eric would chime in, I'm not too familiar
with the deadly mess of the unchecked sendmsg()/sendpage() flags.
