A small thing:
$ git diff master --check
src/include/storage/bufmgr.h:181: trailing whitespace.
+#define BufferGetPage(buffer, snapshot, relation, agetest)
((Page)BufferGetBlock(buffer))

-   Page        page = BufferGetPage(buf);
+   Page        page = BufferGetPage(buf, NULL, NULL, BGP_NO_SNAPSHOT_TEST);
Having a BufferGetPageExtended() with some flags and a default
corresponding to NO_SNAPSHOT_TEST would reduce the diff impact. And as
long as the check is integrated with BufferGetPage[Extended]() I would
not complain, the patch as proposed being 174kB...
