If we're working with something user-defined, then we can just use PCMG
with Galerkin and a user-provided interpolation matrix. When using sparse
storage for the matrix, this also takes advantage of sparsity. It seems
like the only place where we would need special support is if the Krylov
method needs to populate the deflation space (interpolation matrix) as the
iteration goes along (e.g., updating on restart).
