The patchset had a problem with all-zero pages, has appeared at index
build stage: the generic_log_relation() routine sends all pages into the
WAL. So lsn field at all-zero page was initialized and the
PageIsVerified() routine detects it as a bad page.
The solution may be:
1. To improve index build algorithms and eliminate the possibility of
not used pages appearing.
2. To mark each page as 'dirty' right after initialization. In this case
we will got 'empty' page instead of the all-zeroed.
3. Do not write into the WAL all-zero pages.
In the patchset (see attachment) I used approach No.3.
