I'm finding the backend_writes column pretty unfortunate.  The only

backend writes "by design" due to the use buffer access strategy
during bulk inserts.

+1 for separating those.

I'm tied up with some on-site things until Friday, can rev the patch with this in mind (and clear some of my overall review work pile) then.
