Basically, the buffercache is going to be reduced hardly more than an I/O mapping layer (with probably some extras for transactions and RAID). Caching will have to be done in the page cache.
But that's something for kernel version 2.5 (when we'll probably overhaul most of the cache stuff).
In the meantime, it would probably be best to use either your own buffer.c or accept the fact that it's not going to be as efficient as you'd like it to be.
