Ouch. That seems like it could shoot down all these proposals. There
definitely isn't any way to make VM crash-safe if there is no WAL-driven
mechanism for setting the bits.
I guess what we need is a way to delay the application of such a WAL
record on the slave until it's safe, which means the record also has to
carry some indication of the youngest XMIN on the page.
