What do you need to know about ibuffer and imarshal?
All IBuffer implementations must implement IBuffer plus the COM interfaces IBufferByteAccess (which returns the buffer address), IAgileObject (a marker interface), and IMarshal (to marshal by value). You may be able to fail cross-process marshals (depending on your scenario) which makes implementing IMarshal relatively trivial.
Where can I get ibuffer mode in Emacs?

How to use ibuffer out of the box in Emacs?
