Thanks for updating the patch!

+ ereport(IsPostmasterEnvironment ? LOG : NOTICE, (errmsg("Anonymous shared memory was allocated without huge pages.")));

This change causes the log message to be output with NOTICE level
even when IsPostmasterEnvironment is false. But do we really want
to log that NOTICE message in that case? Instead, isn't it better
to just output the log message with LOG level only when
IsPostmasterEnvironment is true?

Justin and I posted other comments upthread. Could you consider
whether it's worth applying those comments to the patch?
