In 9,2, GetXLogReplayRecPtr() should be used instead of GetStandbyFlushRecPtr().
A restartpoint is scheduled to finish before next restartpoint is
triggered. A restartpoint
is triggered if too much WAL files have been replayed since last
restartpoint. So
a restartpoint should be scheduled according to the replay location
not the receive
location.

I think that basically it's better not to change the comments (i.e., not to add
the line feed) if their contents are the same as previous ones, to highlight
what you actually changed in the patch.
Typo: RedoRecptr should be RedoRecPtr?
