We have an item that normally lives in the shelving location GEN (for "General
Stacks"). We put the item into a display. We want the shelving location in the
catalog to reflect that the item isn't in its normal place, but we don't want
to worry about getting that item back into the display if it gets checked out
and we don't want to edit it again. 

If we set:
items.location = DISPLAY
items.permanent_location = GEN

With UpdateItemLocationOnCheckin syspref containing _ALL_: _PERM_

Then the item will show DISPLAY in the catalog but return to GEN when it gets
checked in.

But right now it takes a fairly complicated setup to edit items.location
without koha also edited items.permanent_location.
