The patch is nice and straightforward. Looks good to me.

Some notes that do not seem to me problem of this patch:
1. This comment is copied 7 times already across codebase.
"It is safe to use batchmode as block_range_read_stream_cb"
Maybe we can refactor comments and function names...
2. Somehow brin_vacuum_scan() avoid dance of getting RelationGetNumberOfBlocks() many times to be entirely sure everything is scanned. Unlike other index vacuums, see btvacuumscan() for example.

Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
