Or possibly an XLogInsertDeferred() which just queues up some work so
the next time we call XLogInsert() it will insert the deferred work as
well as the main work all in one lock cycle. It would only be usable for
low priority info like FSM stuff that isn't needed for recovery. Maybe
we could do that with hints also.
