Good, so I think we all now agree we have to put the nonce
(pg_class.oid, LSN, page-number) though the cipher using the secret. I
think Stephen is right that the overhead of this will be minimal for 8k
page writes, and for WAL, we only need to generate the IV when we start
a new 16MB segment, so again, minimal overhead.
