If find this a bit unsatisfactory.  If the kernel does not support these
modes, then "using" them should have no effect.  At least, since the
kernel doesn't know what they mean, the danger of a postmaster kill cannot
increase.

Oh, and have you ever tried to contact a kernel expert or kernel vendor?
