InitCatCache() already has this, which could benefit from simpler notation.

/*
 * Allocate a new cache structure, aligning to a cacheline boundary

 * Note: we rely on zeroing to initialize all the dlist headers correctly
 */
sz = sizeof(CatCache) + PG_CACHE_LINE_SIZE;
cp = (CatCache *) CACHELINEALIGN(palloc0(sz));
