Thanks. This should make the code much more simple. Before you send
another version for the review I have another thing to consider. You are
kind of wiring this into the migration code but control over lru pcp
caches can be used in other paths as well. Memory offlining would be
another user. We already disable page allocator pcp caches to prevent
regular draining. We could do the same with lru pcp caches.
