Doing the equivalent for the session case might leak into MemorySessionImpl implementing DirectBuffer which you probably don't want to do. If NOP_CLOSE.close can do the Reference.reachabilityFence(this) then it would at least improve some of the use-sites.

Not sure that is simpler. ByteBuffer <: AutoCloseable doesn't seem to make sense to me. I'm also not sure how much object allocation (all this stuff will become value types) should be the driving factor in these code paths.
