Addressing logically the buffer cache

Hi!.

Is there any patch or project to address logically the buffer cache?.
Now, you use three parameters to find a buffer in cache: device, block
number, and block size. But, what about if I want to find a buffer using
a super block, an inode number, and a block number within the file
specified by the inode number.

This mechanism would be very useful for a log-structured file system,
for example.

Thanks in advance
