This wasn't explained well in the commit message.  The old code used the
Galerkin procedure on the "Pmat" (preconditioning matrix; which may or
may not be the same as the Amat) and set the result as both Amat and
Pmat of the coarse grid.  The new code allows you to specify.  If your
Amat and Pmat are the same on the finest level, then BOTH will offer the
same behavior as before.
