I've attached new version of the patch. In this version I removed
0004-Update-tmplinit-arguments-v6.patch. In my opinion it handled
extensions upgrade in wrong way. If I'm not mistaken currently there is
no way to upgrade a template's init function signature. And I didn't
find way to change init_method(internal) to init_method(internal,
internal) within an extension's upgrade script.
Therefore I added 0002-Change-tmplinit-argument-v7.patch. Now
DictInitData struct is passed in a template's init method. It contains
necessary data: dictoptions and dictid. And there is no need to change
the method's signature.
Other parts of the patch are same, except that they use DictInitData
structure now.

I beleive mmap requires completely rewrite 0003 part of the patch and a
little changes in 0005.

Yes we have more time in future commitfests if dsm-based patch won't be
approved.
