/*
* "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.
*
* This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
* an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
* buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.
*
* The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
* that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.
*
* Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
* Jens to support splicing to files, network, direct splicing, etc and
* fixing lots of bugs.
