Jens Axboe f84d751994 [PATCH] pipe: introduce ->pin() buffer operation
The ->map() function is really expensive on highmem machines right now,
since it has to use the slower kmap() instead of kmap_atomic(). Splice
rarely needs to access the virtual address of a page, so it's a waste
of time doing it.

Introduce ->pin() to take over the responsibility of making sure the
page data is valid. ->map() is then reduced to just kmap(). That way we
can also share a most of the pipe buffer ops between pipe.c and splice.c
