While checking how BM_PERMANENT flag is set (in buffer header), I noticed that
hash index has it set too. Shouldn't pg_class(relpersistence) be 'u' in this
case? Currently it's set to 'p':

postgres=# CREATE TABLE a(i int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# CREATE INDEX ON a USING HASH (i);
WARNING:  hash indexes are not WAL-logged and their use is discouraged
CREATE INDEX
postgres=# \d a      Table "public.a"Column |  Type   | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------i      | integer |
Indexes:   "a_i_idx" hash (i)

postgres=# select relpersistence from pg_class where relname='a_i_idx';relpersistence
----------------p
