[RFC PATCH 5/8] relay - Map the first sub-buffer at the end of the buffer, for temporary convenience.

[Tom Zanussi <zanussi@comcast.net>]

Map the first sub-buffer at the end of the buffer, for temporary convenience.

Make relay buffers 'circular' for writing by mapping the first subbuf
at end of last subbuf.  This is so we can do writes across last subbuf
boundary without adding special write logic.  This is a temporary
state of affairs and it all goes away in a future patch, but it's here
now so things will still work.
