Merge branch 'splice-2.6.23' of git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block

* 'splice-2.6.23' of git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block:
  pipe: add documentation and comments
  pipe: change the ->pin() operation to ->confirm()
  Remove remnants of sendfile()
  xip sendfile removal
  splice: completely document external interface with kerneldoc
  sendfile: remove bad_sendfile() from bad_file_ops
  shmem: convert to using splice instead of sendfile()
  relay: use splice_to_pipe() instead of open-coding the pipe loop
  pipe: allow passing around of ops private pointer
  splice: divorce the splice structure/function definitions from the pipe header
  splice: relay support
  sendfile: convert nfsd to splice_direct_to_actor()
  sendfile: convert nfs to using splice_read()
  loop: convert to using splice_direct_to_actor() instead of sendfile()
  splice: add void cookie to the actor data
  sendfile: kill generic_file_sendfile()
  sendfile: remove .sendfile from filesystems that use generic_file_sendfile()
  sys_sendfile: switch to using ->splice_read, if available
  vmsplice: add vmsplice-to-user support
  splice: abstract out actor data
