Does flushing really work in softirq context?
Anyways, waiting seems inefficient over fire'n'forget
You'll need a per cpu pre allocated work item and a queue.
Then take a lock on the the queue and link the page into
it and trigger the work item if it's not already pending.
And add a in_interrupt() check of course.
