I have created the attached doc patch to update effective_io_concurrency
to more accurately cover SSDs.

! A good starting point for this setting is the number of separate
drives comprising a RAID 0 stripe or RAID 1 mirror being used for the
database. (For RAID 5 the parity drive should not be counted.)
However, if the database is often busy with multiple queries issued in
concurrent sessions, lower values may be sufficient to keep the disk
array busy. A value higher than needed to keep the disks busy will
only result in extra CPU overhead.

! For more exotic systems, such as memory-based storage or a RAID array
! that is limited by bus bandwidth, the correct value might be the
! number of I/O paths available. Some experimentation may be needed
! to find the best value.
