But perhaps writing a single WAL record if you scan whole page and set

So this is what I ended up doing; attached.
Please, DO NOT MOVE position of page version in PageHeader structure!

Hmm.  The only way I see we could do that is to modify the checksum
struct member to a predefined value before calculating the page's
checksum.

Ah, actually there's another alternative -- leave the checksum on its
current position (start of struct) and move other members below
pg_pagesize_version (leaning towards pd_tli and pd_flags).  That'd leave
the page version in the same position.

(Hmm, maybe it's better to move pd_lower and pd_upper?)

No, please, keep pd_lower and pd_upper on same position. They are accessed more often than pd_tli and pd_flags. It is better for optimization.

By the way, do you need CRC as a first page member? Is it for future development like CLOG integration into buffers? Why not put it on the end as and mark it as a special? It will reduce space requirement when CRC is not enabled.
