How would you qualify a "last ditch" trigger?
Would this be called from "standard" vm_lowmem look or would there be some extra
check for even more severe memory condition?

If lowmem does not make enough progress to improve the condition.

turn and flushes some or all of the buckets in per-cpu caches. Presently that is
not done due to synchronization issues.  It can't be done from a central place.
It could be done with a callout mechanism or a for loop that binds to each core
in succession.
