The purpose of the patch, as I understand it, is performance.

Can I ask what the performance overhead of this is for standard OLTP
workloads?

Do you have some performance numbers for VACUUM with/without this patch?
Presumably it does speed things up considerably, but question is, how
much?

Is there a point where you VACUUM more than x% of a table that it is
actually better to just VACUUM the whole thing, because of readahead?

Is there a size of table for which keeps dsm information is not
worthwhile? i.e. small tables
