FWIW, ccd allocates its own bufs (i.e. not out of buffqueues). I'm not convinced it handles the links correctly in the general case. If it turns out to be something like this, please let me know. I'm currently copying this method for my volume manager, and if it's going to stop working, I need to know soon. An alternative would also be a good idea (the reason is that both CCD and vinum use extended buf headers with additional info at the end).
