I've tested it on Solaris - not better than O_DSYNC (expected, taking
in account that O_DSYNC results don't depend on block counts).

Ok, I've made changes in xlog.c and run tests: 50 clients inserted
(int4, text[1-256]) into 50 tables,
-B 16384, -wal_buffers 256, -wal_files 0.

FSYNC:        257tps
O_DSYNC:      333tps   

Just(?) 30% faster, -:(
But I had no ability to place log on separate disk, yet...
