What?

Show an example for zero-copy functions. Those are mostly architecture-specific, so that might be a good fit to talk about syscalls and kernel vs userspace.

Why?

Zero-copy is so wonderfully fast. Also, it's a good fit for the zero-overhead mantra of Rust.

How?

Maybe use cat + splice as an example.
