simple len and base check is already in kernel:

2.6.22.17 @ 1176,2-16 - fs/splice.c

                /*
                 * Sanity check this iovec. 0 read succeeds.
                 */
                if (unlikely(!len))
                        break;
                error = -EFAULT;
                if (unlikely(!base))
                        break;
