Already done it seems.

For a starter there is already some kind of existing interface which
some think is good (I don't).. sendfile on a non-blocking file. Allows
you to optimistically try sendfile, and fall back on an I/O thread if it
needs to block..

There has also been some work on an AIO sendfile, which should be the
better approach I think (if nothing else at least a cleaner API). The
currently active such project for Linux is here:

others have been seen in past history.
