They have no relation each other directly,
but they need similar synchronization modules.
In log shipping, backends need to wait for WAL Sender's job,
and should wake up as fast as possible after the job is done.
It is similar to requirement of the group commit.
Signals and locking, borrewed from Postgres-R, are now studied
for the purpose in the log shipping, but I'm not sure it can be
also used in the group commit.
