In BufferSync(), we have this:

That seems bogus to me. We're mixing CHECKPOINT_* flags and buffer BM_*
flags in the same variable. Furthermore, we only use that flags variable
to pass it down to CheckpointWriteDelay(), which only pays attention to
CHECKPOINT_IMMEDIATE flag. The intention was probably to do "mask |=
BM_PERMANENT" ?
