PS1:
I think it is ok to merge this kind of approach now, but for later we 
definitely want to be smarter about this.  In a larger-than-trivial network you 
would likely quickly saturate the PCH (downlink CCCH) if you push all paging 
requests everywhere.

If the MSC wants to page the entire netwrok (bsc coverage area) it will say 
that in the paging request.  But in most normal cases it would request to only 
page in a specific LA.

Dynamically learning from the LU is a smart idea, and I like it - but 
unfortuantely it wouldn't work at the moment we start (or restart) bsc-nat.  
Then we don't have a (complete) table of the LAC yet, and we wouldn't be able 
to rout paging, even while there are still phones out there in those LA/BTS 
which could be paged.

The other option would be to introduce some osmocom proprietary IE to the 
BSSMAP RESET which contains the LAC[s] of all the cells in the BSC.  As we are 
developing osmo-bsc_nat primarily for use with osmo-bsc, this would be an 
elegant solution for the primary use caes.
