Hi all,

Rebased the patch, and fixed a bug I introduced in the previous patch in
TrimCLOG.

We ran a quick set of pgbench tests and observed no regressions. Here
are the numbers:

3 trials, with scale 10,000, 350 clients, 350 threads, over 30 minutes:

Median TPS:

Control

Trial 1: 58331.0
Trial 2: 57191.0
Trial 3: 57101.3

Average of Medians: 57541.1

SLRUs to BufferCache + Page Headers:

Trial 1: 62605.0
Trial 2: 62891.2
Trial 3: 59906.3

Average of Medians: 61800.8

Machine Specs:
