Honestly, I think this rush for 6.3 inclusion is a really bad idea.

This series fundamentally changes how splice reads work, and has only
been out for about a week.  It hasn't even been Cc'ed to Al and Linus
which generally have a good knowledge of the splice code and an opinion
on it.

I think it is a good change, but I'd feel much more comfortable with
it for the next merge window rather than rushing it.
