This new notifier is for multi-gen LRU specifically, as it wants to be
able to get and clear age information from secondary MMUs only if it can
be done "fast".
By having this notifier specifically created for MGLRU, what "fast"
means comes down to what is "fast" enough to improve MGLRU's ability to
reclaim most of the time.
