I wasn't thinking of buffile.c specifically. I think improving that
might be a really good idea, although I'm not 100% sure I know what
that would look like. I was thinking that it's unfortunate that there
are so many different ways that I/O happens overall. Like, there are
direct write() and pg_pwrite() calls in various places, for example.
