Long time passed since original patch proposed by Ashutosh, so I
explain again about current design and functionality of this feature.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Thanks for the summary.

Cluster-wide atomic commit
=======================
Since the distributed transaction commit on foreign servers are
executed independently, the transaction that modified data on the
multiple foreign servers is not ensured that transaction did either
all of them commit or all of them rollback. The patch adds the
functionality that guarantees distributed transaction did either
commit or rollback on all foreign servers. IOW the goal of this patch
is achieving the cluster-wide atomic commit across foreign server that
is capable two phase commit protocol.
In [1], I proposed that we solve the problem of supporting PREPARED
transactions involving foreign servers and in subsequent mail Vinayak
agreed to that. But this goal has wider scope than that proposal. I am
fine widening the scope, but then it would again lead to the same
discussion we had about the big picture. May be you want to share
design (or point out the parts of this design that will help) for
solving smaller problem and tone down the patch for the same.

Sorry for confuse you. I'm still focusing on solving only that
problem. What I was trying to say is that I think that supporting
PREPARED transaction involving foreign server is the means, not the
end. So once we supports PREPARED transaction involving foreign
servers we can achieve cluster-wide atomic commit in a sense.

Attached updated patches. I fixed some bugs and add 003 patch that
adds TAP test for foreign transaction.
003 patch depends 000 and 001 patch.

Please give me feedback.

I have tested prepared transactions with foreign servers but after preparing the transaction
the following error occur infinitely.
Test:
=====
=#BEGIN;
=#INSERT INTO ft1_lt VALUES (10);
=#INSERT INTO ft2_lt VALUES (20);
=#PREPARE TRANSACTION 'prep_xact_with_fdw';

2017-01-18 15:09:48.378 JST [4312] ERROR: function pg_fdw_resolve() does not exist at character 8 2017-01-18 15:09:48.378 JST [4312] HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.
2017-01-18 15:09:48.378 JST [4312] QUERY:  SELECT pg_fdw_resolve()
2017-01-18 15:09:48.378 JST [29224] LOG: worker process: foreign transaction resolver (dbid 13119) (PID 4312) exited with exit code 1
.....

If we check the status on another session then it showing the status as prepared.
=# select * from pg_fdw_xacts;
 dbid  | transaction | serverid | userid |  status  | identifier
-------+-------------+----------+--------+----------+------------------------ 13119 | 1688 | 16388 | 10 | prepared | px_2102366504_16388_10 13119 | 1688 | 16389 | 10 | prepared | px_749056984_16389_10
(2 rows)

I think this is a bug.
