    splice: abstract out actor data · c66ab6fa
    Jens Axboe authored
    For direct splicing (or private splicing), the output may not be a file.
    So abstract out the handling into a specified actor function and put
    the data in the splice_desc structure earlier, so we can build on top
    of that.
    
    This is the first step in better splice handling for drivers, and also
    for implementing vmsplice _to_ user memory.
