Many embedded systems will not need this syscall, and omitting it

Nice work, thanks!

If there are no objections, and nobody has a tree they'd rather carry
this through, I'll take the series through the tiny tree when it's ready
to merge.

I think it's rather pointless - there is very little sendfile code,
so you'd rather want to disable splice.
