Ok, i like what you did in smgrextend, smgrwrite, and others...
changing isTemp for skipFsync is more descriptive

but i have a few questions, maybe is right what you did i only want to
understand it:
- you added this in include/storage/smgr.h, so why is safe to assume
that if the backend != InvalidBackendId it must be a temp relation?

+#define SmgrIsTemp(smgr) \
+   ((smgr)->smgr_rnode.backend != InvalidBackendId)


- you added a question like this "if (rel->rd_backend == MyBackendId)"
in a few places... why are you assuming that? that couldn't be a new
created relation (in current session of course)? is that safe?
