I would have used a global hook (register_memory_pressure_handler())
Hmm, ok a super block vector would do too, but the global hook would
be probably useful for other things too (e.g. networking could use it for
its skb caches). Block device interface has nothing to do with the VFS
imho (you may be using a different definition of VFS than me tho)
