I htink this is the same thing that Christian already noted (he said
"reported by David", but I don't know which David ;), where the
vmsplice() writev() emulation was done as a blocking write, even
though vmsplice only blocked at the beginning (ie waiting only for
_initial_ space to write, not then blocking afterwards).
Ah, yes it is - exactly the same issue that's mentioned in[1], I missed
it in the middle of the quite large thread and didn't directly find
David's report.  Sorry for the duplication there.
Yeah, I quickly discussed this with Christian on a different channel and he
ended up sharing the report with the analysis directly.
