In general, +1.

But I don't think we want duplicate function prototypes for the same
functions, so -1 for this hunk:

+ /* in xlog.c */
+ extern void WakeupRecovery(void);
+ extern void StartupXLOG(void);

The existing prototypes in xlog.h seem like they should be just fine.

IsPromoteTriggered could be simplified to just "return
promote_triggered;"; you don't need to branch.

I think one thing that would be worth considering in terms of future
refactoring is to split up the gigantic StartupXLOG() function in some
fashion.
