Really? the names used in the patch help less then.

I would suggest the following name modifications, node names have been
introduced to help tracking of each node's log:
- Candie => master
- Django => slave or just standby
There is no need for complication! And each node's log file is
prefixed by the test number. Note that in other tests there are no
promotions, or fallbacks done, but we stick with a node name that
represents the initial state of the cluster.

It would be cleaner to introduce a new routine in PostgresNode that
calls pg_ctl reload (mentioned in the N-sync patch as well, that would
be useful for many purposes).

OK, you removed the use to allProcs. Though by reading again the code
just holding TwoPhaseStateLock that's actually fine.
The patch needs a small cleanup:
$ git diff master --check
src/test/recovery/t/006_twophase.pl:224: new blank line at EOF.
006_twophase.pl should be renamed to 007. It keeps its license to
kill, and gains in being famous.
- * Scan the pg_twophase directory and setup all the required information to
- * allow standby queries to treat prepared transactions as still active.
- * This is never called at the end of recovery - we use
- * RecoverPreparedTransactions() at that point.
+ * It's a caller responsibility to call MarkAsPrepared() on returned gxact.
*
Wouldn't it be more simple to just call MarkAsPrepared at the end of
RecoverPreparedFromBuffer?
While testing the patch, I found a bug in the recovery conflict code
path. You can do the following to reproduce it:
1) Start a master with a standby
2) prepare a transaction on master
3) Stop immediate on standby to force replay
4) commit prepare transaction on master
5) When starting the standby, it remains stuck here:

It seems that the replay on on-memory state of the PREPARE transaction
is conflicting directly with replay.
