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?
