Patch-2 (2-move-continuation-record-to-page-header.patch) WAL Format Changes

WAL Format
Changes(http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/4FDA5136.6080206@enterpris

After above code changes the comment "/* Insert cont-record header */"
should be changed.

2.
Is XLP_FIRST_IS_CONTRECORD required after putting xl_rem_len in page header;

Can't we do handling based on xl_rem_len?

Sorry for sending the observations in pieces rather than all-together, as I
am not sure how much I will be able to complete.

So what ever I am able to read, I am sending you my doubts or observations.
