FWIW, I'd vote for dumping all of these into *one* rmgrdesc directory
(which may as well be under access/ since that's where the xlog code is),
regardless of where the corresponding replay code is in the source tree.
I don't think splitting them up into half a dozen directories adds
anything except confusion.  If you want, the header comment for each
file could mention where the corresponding replay code lives.
