How about making CMA configurable in some fashion to be able to specify
the type of 2nd class clients? Clean page-cache pages can also be rather
easily evicted (see zone-reclaim). You could migrate them out when they
are dirtied so that you do not have the high writeback latency from the
CMA reserved area if it needs to be evicted later.
