That's the plan, but since sendfile depends on some of the splice bits,
sendfile needs to be optional as well; SENDFILE_SYSCALL will then select
SPLICE_SYSCALLS.

Just include sendfile with the splice syscalls - we don't really need a
config option for every obscure syscall.

No objection here.  Pieter, since you're planning to remove splice
anyway, can you just fold the two together under the same Kconfig
option?  That should simplify the patch series, since you won't need to
split the two.
