IIRC in one of the original patches I had added a way to do it. It was
rejected however; it was argued that there was another mechanism to
disable it. I don't remember what it was though. The only possibility
that comes to mind is "ALTER DATABASE SET autovacuum TO off" but I don't
see why would it work.
