This is the first patch of patchset #178 as requested in the comments #178 (comment)
Regarding the conversion of the distance functions interface from double to float it will need modification of vector.sql interface which may need a major extension upgrade. If we're ready for this, I'd easily modify the patch as requested in #178 (comment) As of now I've left it as is for compatibility, and as this modifications will not make it much faster to build ivfflat index.
