By the way, do you need CRC as a first page member? Is it for future development
like CLOG integration into buffers? Why not put it on the end as and mark it as
a special? It will reduce space requirement when CRC is not enabled.

Indexes uses PageGetSpecial macro and they live with them and PageInit could do
correct placement. Only problem are assert macros and extra check which
verifies correct size of special.
plus turning
CRC checking on or off on-the-fly would be problematic.
Yeah, it is problem.
I think Alvaro
has the right idea: just put the field there all the time.
Agree.
