Oh wait, I mispoke... there is another formulation of the patch that hasn't
yet been posted for review. Instead of having the nopagedone hook, it turns
the entire do_no_page into a hook, per hch's suggestion, but leaves in the
->nopage hook, which makes the patch small and obviously right. I need to
post that version for comparison, please bear with me.

IMHO, it's nicer than the ->nopagedone form.
