Please note that pgfincore is working on any system where PostgreSQL
prefetch is working, exactly like pg_prewarm. This includes linux, BSD and
many unix-like. It *is not* limited to linux.
I never had a single request for windows, but windows does provides an
API for that too (however I have no windows offhand to test).

Another side note is that currently BSD (at least freeBSD) have a more
advanced mincore() syscall than linux and offers a better analysis (dirty
status is known) and they implemented posix_fadvise...

PS:
There is a previous thread about that hibernation feature. Mitsuru IWASAKI
did a patch, and it triggers some interesting discussions.
Some notes in this thread are outdated now, but it's worth having a look
at it:
