Shared buffer cache is my department, although it generally comes under the 
heading of "XenFS" since I'm implementing VFS-level page caching first.  The 
same infrastructure should be applicable later on to block-level buffer 
caching.

Feel free to prod me for further details.  I'll probably put some more blurb 
online in the next couple of weeks.

Cheers,
Mark
