That is already the case.  There are two separate issues, when dirty
data is written to disk, and when clean data is dropped from memory.
The only connection between them is that dirty data can't just be
dropped, it must be written first.  But have written it, there is no
reason to immediately drop it.  When a checkpoint cleans data from the
shard_buffers, that now-clean data remains in shared_buffers.  And at
the OS level, when an fsync forces dirty data out to disk, the
now-clean data generally remains in cache (although I've seen nfs
implementations where that was not the case).

It is hard to figure out what problem you are facing.  Is your data
not getting loaded into cache, or is it not staying there?

Cheers,

Jeff
