I was wondering that too --- they looked like obsolete comments to me.

My current thinking BTW is that trying to make XLogBackgroundFlush serve
two purposes is counterproductive.  It should be dedicated to use by the
walwriter only, and the checkpoint case should simply read the async
commit pointer and call regular XLogFlush with it.
