Ok, it's merged in my tree, although I was somewhat unhappy about the
incomprehensible calling conventions of "get_pipe_info()". The random
second argument just makes no sense when you read the code, it would
have probably been better as a helper function or #define to clarify
the whole "for_splice" thing.

But let's see how it works and what actually happens.
