I doubt it - even if a flush queue does happen to be entirely full of equal-sized IOVAs, a CPU's loaded magazines also both being perfectly empty when it comes to dump a full fq seem further unlikely, so in practice I don't see this making any appreciable change to the likelihood of spilling back to the depot or not. In fact the smaller the magazines get, the less time would be spent flushing the depot back to the rbtree, where your interesting workload falls off the cliff and never catches back up with the fq timer, so at some point it might even improve (unless it's also already close to the point where smaller caches would bottleneck allocation)... might be interesting to experiment with a wider range of magazine sizes if you had the time and inclination.
