Wouldn't it be easier and more robust to just consider VM bit changes to
be part of the WAL-logged actions? That would include updating LSNs on
VM pages and flushing VM pages to disk during checkpoint based on their
LSN values. All of these other schemes seem too complicated and not
provably correct.
Of course, that'd mean doing the bit changes inside the critical
sections for the related actions, so it's not a trivial change
code-wise, but neither are these other ideas.
