[petsc-dev] Mark, what's the rational for keeping the Chebyshev tuning inside GAMG?

The smoothed interpolation satisfies

  P_{smoothed} = (1 - w D^{-1} A) P_{tentative}

where D^{-1} is Jacobi (could be point-block Jacobi), but cannot be SOR.
GAMG is computing the estimate in order to choose w.

I think yes, after adding KSPChebyshevGetEigenvalues().
