Sure, I pushed your patch now.

Well, I didn't like that name -- normally, names ending in Ext represent
a version of the routine named without the "Ext" that has some additions
to its argument list, so the Ext is an extended version or something
like that. That pattern does not fit this case. I used the name
"SimpleLruZeroAndWritePage" instead, and rewrote the comment to explain
that it's a simple wrapper that does exactly what the name says.
Because of this I also removed some comments in the callsites, because
those would have been redundant with the new name. So, no you don't
need to do anything, because I already did it.
I also went back and accepted Andrey's suggestion to have Int64 in the
name of the XLogSimpleInsert routine, because it's not totally
unthinkable that we'll have some other simple wrapper in the future.
I made it return the LSN, because while no current caller needs it, some
external caller might want to have that.
I also moved each routine to a more natural place, namely just below the
function they wrap. The pattern of adding stuff at the end of the file
just results in messy code, so don't do that.
