In pg_upgrade, the "page convert" functionality is there to abstract
rewrites of pages being copied; your patch is circumventing it and
AFAICS it makes the interface more complicated for no good reason.  I
think the real way to do that is to write your rewriteVisibilityMap as a
pageConverter routine.  That should reduce some duplication there.
