Ah, I was going to play arond with that today, but you beat me to it ;-)

A few thoughts after a quick look at the patch:

* I had envisioned that there's a custom GUC controlling the lock ID
used; this would allow blocking different sessions at different points,
if we ever need that.  Also, I'd make the GUC start out as zero which
means "do nothing", so that merely loading the module has no immediate
effect.

* Don't really see the point of the before-planning lock.

* Rather than exposing internal declarations from lockfuncs.c, you
could just write calls to pg_advisory_lock_int8 etc. using
DirectFunctionCall1.

* We need some better name than "test_module".  I had vaguely thought
about "delay_execution", but am surely open to better ideas.
