This suppresses the use of splice(), vmsplice(), tee() and sendfile() on the pipe as calling iov_iter_revert() on a pipe when a kernel notification message has been inserted into the middle of a multi-buffer splice will be messy. The flag is given the same value as O_EXCL as it seems unlikely that this flag will ever be applicable to pipes and I don't want to use up another O_* bit unnecessarily. An alternative could be to add a pipe3() system call.
