v5-0005 comments:

  * Please update the comment above the code change.
  * The last paragraph in the commit message has a typo: "potentially
update the local copy of min recovery point, when xlog inserts are
*not* allowed", right?
  * Shouldn't the code be consistent between XLogNeedsFlush() and
XLogFlush()? The latter only checks for !XLogInsertAllowed(), whereas
the former also checks for RecoveryInProgress().

I'm still not sure I understand the problem situation this is fixing,
but that's being discussed in another thread.
