Regarding:

-       if (!WALRead(state, cur_page, targetPagePtr, XLOG_BLCKSZ, tli,
-                                &errinfo))
+       if (!WALRead(state, cur_page, targetPagePtr, count, tli,
&errinfo))

I'd like to understand the reason it was using XLOG_BLCKSZ before. Was
it a performance optimization? Or was it to zero the remainder of the
caller's buffer (readBuf)? Or something else?

If it was to zero the remainder of the caller's buffer, then we should
explicitly make that the caller's responsibility.
