If it is ok with everyone, I will email Andrew and see how he'd like to 
proceed on this, whether he'd prefer we contribute a solid "user" of the page 
migration code with a merged page migration patch, or if it would be ok to
submit the page migration code stand alone, given that there are multiple 
users "pending".

Of course, I come to this effort late in the game, and if anyone else would
prefer to do that instead, I will happily oblige them.
