No, the intent is specifically that there will be *no* such global
structure.  All it does is add complexity, not to mention make it
harder to size shared memory.

The proposed design is essentially a clone of the sinval messaging
system, which does not need to know either of those and does not make
"one copy per backend".  There's one copy, period.
