Title:
  powerpc: sendfile64() limitation up to 2^31

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” source package in Trusty:
  In Progress
Status in “linux” source package in Utopic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
      commit 8f9c0119d7ba (compat: fs: Generic compat_sys_sendfile
      implementation) changed the PowerPC 64bit sendfile call from
      sys_sendile64 to sys_sendfile.
      
      Unfortunately this broke sendfile of lengths greater than 2G because
      sys_sendfile caps at MAX_NON_LFS. Restore what we had previously which
      fixes the bug.
