Is Anshul's proposal to simply create a BFS file for each message
unworkable?  I don't know enough about how that would need to be
implemented. I assume location of cache files would default to /boot.

Otherwise you end up implementing a disk filesystem too.  In that
case I suppose it might be best to reuse the BFS implementation.
