Brigades are tied to the pool in which they are created.  Buckets for the
most part have no inherent lifespan, other than the fact that if you leave
them in a brigade and destroy the brigade, the buckets in it will be
deleted.  (The exception is that you should "setaside" each bucket into
the new pool to make sure any underlying data lives as long as the bucket
itself does.)  Exactly what kind of lifespan are you wanting for your
brigade?  It should just be a matter of getting a pool with that lifespan,
making a brigade in it, and calling setaside on the buckets and then
moving them over to that new brigade.  That's basically what
ap_save_brigade() does.
