I reviewed the documentation part of 0008. I have a few edits attached.

I have just one comment that's not covered in the edits

@@ -4254,8 +4254,8 @@ SELECT * FROM pg_locks pl LEFT JOIN pg_prepared_xacts ppx
<para>
Anonymous allocations are allocations that have been made
with <literal>ShmemAlloc()</literal> directly, rather than via
- <literal>ShmemInitStruct()</literal> or
- <literal>ShmemInitHash()</literal>.
+ <literal>ShmemRequestStruct()</literal> or
+ <literal>ShmemRequestHash()</literal>.
</para>

ShmemInitStruct() and ShmemInitHash() are still the functions to
allocate named structures. If we are going to keep ShmemInitStruct()
and ShmemInitHash() around for a while, I think it is more accurate to
mention them in this sentence along with the new functions.

Will continue reviewing the patch tomorrow.
