Anna Schumaker 903b48079c copy_file_range.2: New page documenting copy_file_range()
copy_file_range() is a new system call for copying ranges of data
completely in the kernel.  This gives filesystems an opportunity to
implement some kind of "copy acceleration", such as reflinks or
server-side-copy (in the case of NFS).
