B_NESTED sounds OK... but I don't think you actually need a separate
bit for it; you should be able to tell if its nested just from the
parent buf pointer.
I would also like to see the parent buf have a list of the sub-bufs
it depends on.
Can you please produce a version of the patch that only contains the
nested buf changes?
