For example a video grabber would need a big contiguous physical
buffer, just like "sg". Using my big buffer patch, you would be able
to share that buffer between these two "users".

I think such a patch already exists....
Look around for "bigphysarea", or something like that, created for
framegrabbing with the Meteor frame-grabbers.
