Let's allow drivers to also trigger this when they really want to make progress and know what they are doing. virtio-mem wants to use these functions when it failed to unplug memory for quite some time (e.g., after 30 minutes). It will then try to free up reclaimable objects by dropping the slab caches every now and then (e.g., every 30 minutes) as long as necessary. There will be a way to disable this feature and info messages will be logged. In the future, we want to have a drop_slab_range() functionality instead. Memory offlining code has similar demands and also other alloc_contig_range() users (e.g., gigantic pages) could make good use of this feature. Adding it, however, requires more work/thought.
