Correct.  klog -setpag doesn't work with OpenAFS 1.4.2 and current
kernels.  The code required to support the -setpag feature is hideous and
breaks all sorts of kernel abstractions, and in 1.4.2 it was deemed too
dangerous to continue to attempt since it can lead to race conditions.

This really should have been in the release notes; sorry about that.
