Well, there's probably lot more different tests that could be done:

 - splicing from various sources (socket, pipe, regular file)
 - splicing to various sources (...)
 - splicing in full page(s)
 - splicing in partial page(s)
 - filling the destination pipe (blocking/nonblocking)
 - splicing in a big buffer (bigger than the pipe buffer)
 - splicing out full buffers
 - splicing out partial buffers
 - splicing out multiple buffers
 - splicing out more data then is in the pipe (blocking/nonblocking)
 - parallel splicing (in and/or out)

And then there's vmsplice(), which I haven't even looked at.

Unfortunately this would be a much bigger project than the cleanup I
did on the kernel splice code, and I don't really have the time to do
it :(
