 As I understand, the do_meta_boxes hook "should be" fired when the meta
 boxes should be displayed. @scribu mentioned as much [http://wordpress-
 hackers.1065353.n5.nabble.com/add-meta-boxes-and-do-meta-boxes-hooks-
 td32206.html on wp-hackers a while ago]. It was moved out of the beginning
 of the do_meta_boxes() function into separate edit-form-*.php files before
 the admin header is called in r9620 for undocumented reasons.

 This hook is no more helpful than add_meta_boxes and fires right after it.
 I would suggest that we deprecate this hook, and suggest developers use
 the add_meta_boxes hook instead.
