Are there a lot of messages that speak in terms of buffer pages though?
Other than the debug-level stuff, which this checkpoint message has now
been elevated out of, I don't recall seeing enough things that spoke in
those terms to consider it a standard.  Someone feel free to correct me if
I'm wrong here.

I have not (most of this patch was done against 8.2 and then ported
forward).  If that already shows clearly the start and end of each
autovacuum section, ignore that I even brought this up.
