I think we can get started with the initdb --no-data-checksums option.

The 0001 patch is missing documentation and --help output for this 
option.  Also, some of the tests for the option that are in patch 0003 
might be better in patch 0001.

Separately, this

-        may incur a noticeable performance penalty. If set, checksums
+        may incur a small performance penalty. If set, checksums

should perhaps be committed separately.  I don't think the patch 0003 
really changes the performance penalty. ;-)
