PATCH 1/1 backport sys_sendfile64

To support sendfile() in LFS applications we need the sendfile64() syscall that is different from sendfile() only in taking a loff_t offset parameter instead of off_t. Obviously they share the actual implementation so the patch is very small. sendfile64() is supported in 2.5 and many vendor kernel for a long time and in -ac for a while now.
