Or maybe we just don't touch it until there's need for a functional change?  I
feel it a pity to lose the git blame info for reindent-only patches, but no
strong opinion, because I know many people don't think the same and I'm fine
with either ways.

Another side note: perhaps a comment above pageflags enum on PG_has_hwpoisoned
would be nice?  I saw that we've got a bunch of those already.
