Hmm, this is an interesting idea.  I wonder what would happen if we let
other SLRU users go into shared buffers too -- for example it has been
reported several times that pg_subtrans thrashing can cause severe
problems in case of long running transactions.  (I wonder whether
pg_subtrans would occupy a big portion of shared buffers if we let it go
unchecked).
