Using do_splice_to() as a helper is probably a good idea, though both Willy
and Christoph seem to dislike it.

That's not true.  What I'm fundamentlly against is pointless wrappers
like the call_* that add no value.  do_splice_to adds useful checks,
so if properly named and documented, I'm absolutely in favour.

Fair enough.  Rename to vfs_splice_read() okay with you?
