Why not directly including the change you have in patch 2 (id is a
pointer that points directly to ->bouncebuf) so you can get rid of this
memcpy() here?

You should probably extend this comment in patch 2 to explain why 4k
should be enough for regular read/write operations.

The patch looks good otherwise.
