ISTM that we are getting a nice thing here. I tested the patch and WAL
replay is working correctly.

Some nitpicky comments...

+ * bkp_info stores flags for information about the backup block image
+ * BKPIMAGE_IS_COMPRESSED is used to identify if a given block image
is compressed.
+ * BKPIMAGE_WITH_HOLE is used to identify the presence of a hole in a
block image.
+ * If the block image has no hole, it is ensured that the raw size of
a compressed
+ * block image is equal to BLCKSZ, hence the contents of
+ * XLogRecordBlockImageCompressionInfo are not necessary.
Take care of the limit of 80 characters per line. (Perhaps you could
run pgindent on your code before sending a patch?). The first line of
this paragraph is a sentence in itself, no?

In xlogreader.c, blk->with_hole is a boolean, you could remove the ==0
and ==1 it is compared with.

+      /*
+       * Length of a block image must be less than BLCKSZ
+       * if the block has hole
+       */
"if the block has a hole." (End of the sentence needs a dot.)

+       /*
+        * Length of a block image must be equal to BLCKSZ
+        * if the block does not have hole
+        */
"if the block does not have a hole."
