Here are other comments from me:

The patch seems to contain whitespace errors.
You can see them by "git diff --check".

+ <para>
+ Time at which all statistics in the pg_stat_statements view were last reset.
+ </para></entry>

"pg_stat_statements" in the above should be enclosed with
<structname> and </structname>.
