OK, so you want to be able to force O_DIRECT for wal_level = archive ?
I guess that makes sense if you expect the archive_command to read the
file out of the RAID controller's write cache before it gets flushed and
your archive_command can also use direct I/O to avoid pulling it into cache.
You already know where to change to start experimenting with this. What
exactly are you trying to ask? I don't see any risk in forcing O_DIRECT
for higher wal_level, but I'm not an expert in WAL and recovery. I'd
recommend testing on a non-critical PostgreSQL instance.
