The pertinent code that would have to be hacked is in window.c and the 
only other candidate I see is the variable next-screen-context-lines, 
also in window.c  Maybe if you can make a good case for the usefulness 
of this behavior, someone will change the code for you. Out of 
curiosity, why do you care if the cursor is exactly at top or bottom of 
buffer as long as you can see the text there. Immediately after the last 
M-v or C-v you can M-< or M-> if you need extreme cursor movement.
