Header order problem: pg_config_os.h defines __darwin__, but
pg_config_manual.h is included first, and tests __darwin__. I hacked
my way around that, and then made a table of 40,000,000 integers in a
2GB buffer pool. I used "select count(pg_buffercache_evict(buffered))
from pg_buffer_cache", and "sudo purge", to clear the two layers of
cache for each test, and then measured:

maintenance_io_concurrency=0, ANALYZE: 2311ms
maintenance_io_concurrency=10, ANALYZE: 652ms
maintenance_io_concurrency=25, ANALYZE: 389ms

It works!
