I don't think we currently use MB in any other log messages. If we go down that route, we need to consider switching to MB everywhere.
Are there a lot of messages that speak in terms of buffer pages though? Other than the debug-level stuff, which this checkpoint message has now been elevated out of, I don't recall seeing enough things that spoke in those terms to consider it a standard. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.
Did you check out log_autovacuum? Doesn't it do what you need?
I have not (most of this patch was done against 8.2 and then ported forward). If that already shows clearly the start and end of each autovacuum section, ignore that I even brought this up.
