I think in the new design there is a provision of launching the worker
dynamically to dump the buffers, so there seems to be a need of
separate workers for loading and dumping the buffers.  However, there
is no explanation in the patch or otherwise when and why this needs a
pair of workers.  Also, if the dump interval is greater than zero,
then do we really need to separately register a dynamic worker?
