I'm kinda skeptical about that because if those allocations are
occassional by nature, we don't care and if there can be a huge number
of them, splitting them into a separate cache makes sense.  I think it
makes sense to pin down exactly which caches are memcg managed.  That
has the potential to simplify the involved code path and shave off a
small bit of hot path overhead.

Thanks.
