 * 6. Don't forget to document the option (at least in config.sgml).

 * 7. If it's a new GUC_LIST option you must edit pg_dumpall.c to ensure
 *        it is not single quoted at dump time.

 * to the current top transaction, or just for the duration of a function call.
 *
 * If changeVal is false then don't really set the option but do all
 * the checks to see if it would work.
 *
 * If there is an error (non-existing option, invalid value) then an
 * ereport(ERROR) is thrown *unless* this is called in a context where we
 * don't want to ereport (currently, startup or SIGHUP config file reread).
 * In that case we write a suitable error message via ereport(LOG) and
 * return false. This is working around the deficiencies in the ereport
 * mechanism, so don't blame me.  In all other cases, the function
 * returns true, including cases where the input is valid but we chose
 * not to apply it because of context or source-priority considerations.

         * The user-visible GUC parameter is the number of drives (spindles),
         * which we need to translate to a number-of-pages-to-prefetch target.
         *
         * The expected number of prefetch pages needed to keep N drives busy is:
         *
         * drives |   I/O requests
         * -------+----------------
         *      1 |   1
         *      2 |   2/1 + 2/2 = 3
         *      3 |   3/1 + 3/2 + 3/3 = 5 1/2
         *      4 |   4/1 + 4/2 + 4/3 + 4/4 = 8 1/3
         *      n |   n * H(n)
         *
         * This is called the "coupon collector problem" and H(n) is called the
         * harmonic series.  This could be approximated by n * ln(n), but for
         * reasonable numbers of drives we might as well just compute the series.
         *
         * Alternatively we could set the target to the number of pages necessary
         * so that the expected number of active spindles is some arbitrary
         * percentage of the total.  This sounds the same but is actually slightly
         * different.  The result ends up being ln(1-P)/ln((n-1)/n) where P is
         * that desired fraction.
         *
         * Experimental results show that both of these formulas aren't aggressive
         * enough, but we don't really have any better proposals.
         *
         * Note that if newval = 0 (disabled), we must set target = 0.
