Why a separate base_ptr?
While being at it I'd much prefer to replace offset with start & end.
The buffer content is buffer[start] ... buffer[end-1] then.
We can allow the buffer to wrap around, i.e. end < start. Buffer
content is buf[start] ... buffer[size-1] and buffer[0] .. buffer[end-1]
then. Makes the buffer management a bit more complicated, but we never
have to memmove then (except when changing buffer size) and the
WASTED_SIZE logic isn't needed too ...
Then drop this patch and try to use your approach for 2.6+
