Yeah, I see.

While evaluating it further I feel there are a few more problems to
solve if we are using BufFile, First thing is that in subxact file we
maintain the information of xid and its offset in the changes file.
So now, we will also have to store 'fileno' but that we can find using
BufFileTell. Yet another problem is that currently, we don't
have the truncate option in the BufFile, but we need it if the
sub-transaction gets aborted. I think we can implement an extra
interface with the BufFile and should not be very hard as we already
know the fileno and the offset. I will evaluate this part further and
let you know about the same.
