Why do we need to create that copy? We can just use the relfilenode in
all backends by having the backendid in the filename? Yes, there's a
some amount of additional code needed, but it's not that much? I
actually think it might end up being less additional code than having a
copy, because with the copy you'll have two different oids for global
entry and the local copy.
