You can actually already do this with the SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom()
function. Just pass in the correct base address (precalculated from
the x/y address) and give the pitch for the original data.
SDL will not free the pixels data from a surface allocated this way,
and it should work as a normal surface in all other respects.
See ya!
