That seems like a reasonable idea, but how are we going to go about
merging the various proposed patches here?  Do you want me to commit
what I've got, and then you can rebase this port change on that?

As far as 9.2 vs HEAD goes, I think we should try to converge 9.2 and
HEAD as closely as possible, just for our own sanity in future
back-patching.  Right now I think the only necessary difference is
the int64-XLogRecPtr changes in HEAD.
