When we created BufferPoolMXBean (in JSR-203) then the goal was to make 
it easy to monitor current usage. It wouldn't be hard to track peak 
usage if that is important. Direct buffers have not been page aligned 
for some time so that is probably not worth trying to expose. The 
nio-dev and serviceability-dev would be the right place to being 
proposals in this area.
