As a matter of style, I think it'd be better to have an int64 variable
that gets the value from PG_GETARG_INT64(), then you cast that to
another variable that's a BlockNumber and use that throughout the rest
of the code. So you'd avoid changes like this:
> static bytea *get_raw_page_internal(text *relname, ForkNumber forknum,
> - BlockNumber blkno);
> + int64 blkno);
where the previous coding was correct, and the new one is dubious and it
forces you to add unnecessary range checks in that function:
