For some data shared memory structures, that store no pointers, we wouldn't need to insist that they are mapped to the same address in every backend, though. In particular, shared_buffers.

Good point. Simply splitting out shared_buffers into a moveable segment would make a massive difference. Much less chance of losing the dice roll for mapping the fixed segment.
Should look at what else could be made cheaply relocatable too.
