BTW, these should have some kind of prefix, like PG_ALLOC_* to avoid
causing the same kind of problem for someone else that another header
caused for you by defining something somewhere called IGNORE (ignore
what, I don't know). The other problem was probably due to a define,
though. Maybe instead of an enum, the function should take a boolean.

I still wonder whether there needs to be a separate CF entry for the
0001 patch. One issue is that there's two different lists of people
involved in the threads.
