Sure, I think it's much more reasonable with io_uring than with splice itself.

So I was mainly just reacting to the "strict-splice" thing where Andy
was talking about tracking the page refcounts. I don't think anything
like that can be done at a splice() level, but higher levels that
actually know about the whole IO might be able to do something like
that.

Maybe we're just talking past each other.
