A callback system from do_try_to_free_pages(), where anybody
can dynamically register their cache->drop_pages() function
would be nice.
Maybe a list of caches with function pointers?
spin_lock(&cachelist_lock);
for (cache = &cachelist.next ; cache->next != &cachelist ;
cache = cachelist->next) {
count -= cache->drop_pages(priority);
if (count <= 0)
break;
}
spin_unlock(&cachelist_lock);
On module load time, init_module() could grab the cachelist_lock,
insert an entry in the list and next time try_to_free_pages() is
called our cache will be shrunk too.

Rik
