I dig on gensink:

	http://jes.home.cern.ch/jes/gensink/

the attached hack gives it the ability to tx with sendfile() from a
ftruncate()ed tmpfile based on the presence of a 5th argument, which can
be fun with scatter/csum capable cards.  I've put up some rpms for the
lazy:

	http://www.zabbo.net/rpms/gensink/

5aa66dfd7749c77cb58de22fad96de  gensink-4.1-1sendfile.i386.rpm
04912a63bda95a79b6b835f340c924c2  gensink-4.1-1sendfile.src.rpm

enjoy.
