Yeah, I really meant all SLRU, not just clog. And having seen what
Robert has done here, I'm kinda glad I haven't gotten around to
trying to reduce LW lock contention yet, even though we're getting
dangerously far into the release cycle -- I think it can be done
much better with the, er, flexibility offered by the FlexLock patch.
