A hook I proposed is a more general facility, and can satisfy this
need as well.  It looks to me as a better solution.

Since it's a hook called when restoring a buffer, it should be called
with the buffer name.  The total number of buffers is AFAIR known only
after everything is processed, and is stored in the
desktop-buffer-ok-count.  What else is missing?
