sendfile has been tested to have stability issues with at least mt7621 and 
mvebu. With both, I've had the system reboot(no logs unfortunately). It usually 
happens when seeking multiple times with a single video file. A different user 
said disabling sendfile improved her uptime from a few hours to around 10 days.

Disable and add a comment warning the user.
