Again NAK to the whole approach.

At least with amdgpu the problem you described above never occurs 
because evictions are pipelined operations. We could only block for 
deleted regions to become free.

But independent of that incoming memory requests while we make room for 
eviction are intended to be served first.

Changing that is certainly a no-go cause that would favor memory hungry 
applications over small clients.

Christian.
