 I think that It's worth backpatch to prevent users who observe the
 occurrence of the query conflicts carefully for testing 9.0 from
 getting confusing.

I don't think this is important enough to back-patch, but it does seem
like a good idea in general, so committed, but just to the master
branch.

 The reset occurs at most each 500ms, so not much problem there.

 When I created the conflict between recovery and many read-only
 transactions in the standby server for test purpose, I found that the
 keyword waiting disappeared from PS display for just a moment
 even though the conflict had not been resolved yet. This seems
 strange to me.

though?

 BTW, ResolveRecoveryConflictWithVirtualXIDs calls
 pgstat_report_waiting(), which is also needless since the startup
 process doesn't have the shared memory entry (i.e., MyBEEntry)
 for pg_stat_activity. The attached patch removes that call.

IIRC that wasn't added by me, so not sure why its there. Not harming anything 
either.
