I like the idea behind the patches. And they still apply and build.

The first patch is clean and well commented. I just have two minor nitpicks.

Small typo with the extra "which" which makes the sentence not flow 
correctly

"This is called from CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores(), which see for 
more comments."

On the topic of minor language issues I think the comma below is redundant.

"In the normal postmaster case, the shared hash tables are created here."

The second patch is a simple renaming which reduces mental load by 
making the naming more consistent so I like it. Also since these 
functions are not really useful for any extension authors I do not see 
any harm in renaming them.

After cleaning up the language of that comment I think these patches can 
be committed.
